\"\"<\/b><\/h6>\n
Lowly traveler, how far you\u2019ve come, how far you\u2019ve yet to go<\/h6>\n
Thirsty and hot, tired and abandoned, your journey of innumerable steps, as you trek, here below\u2026<\/h6>\n
You pitch your tent in the middle of the night as you gaze upon a trillion stars and you wonder where you are\u2026<\/h6>\n
Without family or friend, you hope for an end, but none is in sight\u2026<\/h6>\n
Crying out, you spread your body upon the desert sand\u2026reaching up for just a hand, but no one can\u2026reach you.<\/h6>\n
You\u2019re alone\u2026with no home\u2026the desert becomes your place of refuge\u2026and you refuse to hope\u2026<\/h6>\n
\u2018Where are you God when I need you most\u2026why am I living this way?\u2019<\/h6>\n
I hear the night wind, begin to blow\u2026<\/h6>\n
One tiny star glows\u2026brighter than the rest\u2026a hush covers my soul\u2026<\/h6>\n
In the stillness I hear a heavenly host begin to sing a song of deliverance\u2026<\/h6>\n
Come, come to the well of refreshing\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Then a remembrance engulfs my thoughts, as a gentle wind lifts me to the sky\u2026<\/h6>\n
Am I dead? Am I alive? Where am I? A voice like thunder rocks my being, I can hardly believe what I am seeing\u2026and then I hear\u2026<\/h6>\n
I AM here Child; I\u2019ve been with you all along\u2026but you refused to hear me speak and as you grew weak, I waited, for I knew that you would seek me once again\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
You had a better plan, but not by my design.<\/em><\/h6>\n
Come, come to the well of refreshing<\/em><\/h6>\n
The desert is a quiet place, where I take my lowly ones to face, their fears and shed a million tears that will bring them to my well\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
The well is deep, the water is sweet, oh taste and see that I am good\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Life is hard and misunderstood\u2026unless you drink the living waters, I provide\u2026 then you\u2019ll run and not become weary; you\u2019ll never have to hide\u2026when you drink from my well of grace\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Forgiveness never runs out\u2026love, peace and joy will flood your soul when you drink the waters that I supply\u2026 then child, you\u2019ll live and never die\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Come, come to the well of refreshing\u2026I am the living water\u2026you will find rest for your soul\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Drink and you\u2019ll never thirst again\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Pouring my cup, I take a sip, then drink \u2018til I am full\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Come, come to the well of refreshing\u2026<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/h6>\n

Psalm 34:8 New International Version (NIV)<\/strong> Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.<\/em><\/h6>\n
John 4:13-14 NIV<\/strong> Jesus answered, \u201cEveryone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
