Singing at a Spanish Speaking Gospel Meeting in Ontario, CA. “Give up the world, Christ to obtain”
John 4:13-14: “Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall by no means thirst forever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water gushing up into eternal life.” Some people are never satisfied; they are always conscious of the vanity of life. A man can increase his wealth, but this does not increase his satisfaction. Money, children, and friends cannot satisfy man. The world is empty. When a man does not have something, he wants it. When he has it, he quickly becomes thirsty again. Before a man in this world receives the Lord, he pursues after satisfaction all the time. He can be satisfied for a few days, but very shortly he will be at the end of himself and thirsty once again. He is like a child who wants some toys before receiving them, yet tires of them once he receives them. Everything of the world can offer man only temporary satisfaction. After a man drinks of it, he will be thirsty again. He is like the Samaritan woman who was not satisfied even after having five husbands. The Lord Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks of this water shall thirst again.” (Collected Works of Watchman Nee, The (Set 3) Vol. 60: Miscellaneous Records of the Kuling Training (2) by Watchman Nee )
