My soul thirsteth after thee as a barren land. Psalms 114:6. Let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17. If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:37-38.
When thou art dry and barren, examine thyself closely what may be the cause. Ask pardon for all offences, and take care to mend them. And though thou shouldst not find any thing particular, yet humble thyself deeply before the Lord; but at the same time remember that thou art accepted, beloved, justified, and blessed in Christ; and in this disposition quietly wait the return of some new drops of living water and grace; but be also sure afterwards to cherish and make a right use of them. Thus thou shalt be like a watered garden. Isaiah 58:11.
For thee I thirst, O Lord, I mourn;
When will thy smiling face return?
Shall all my joys on earth remove,
And God for ever hide his love?
ANSWER.
Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
And pine away and die;
Here you may quench your raging thirst.
With springs that never dry.
Rivers of love and mercy, here,
In a rich ocean join:
Salvation in abundance flows.
Like floods of milk and wind.
