“The abundant life is a spiritual life. Too many sit at the banquet table of the gospel of Jesus Christ and merely nibble at the feast placed before them. They go through the motions – attending their meetings, perhaps glancing at the scriptures, repeating familiar prayers – but their hearts are far away. If they are honest, they would admit to being more interested in the latest neighbourhood rumours, stock market trends, and their favourite TV show than they are in the supernal wonders and sweet ministerings of the Holy Spirit. Do you wish to partake of this living water and experience that divine well springing up within you to everlasting life? Then be not afraid. Believe with all your hearts. Develop an unshakeable faith in the Son of God. Let your hearts reach out in earnest prayer. Fill your minds with knowledge of Him. Forsake your weaknesses. Walk in holiness and harmony with the commandments. Drink deeply of the living waters of the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
(Joseph B. Wirthlin, “The Abundant
Life”, Ensign May 2006)
Thou art the source of all my
blessings,
Thou art the source of all my
joys,
Thou art the living water
I drink with haste
And savour each and every drop
So careful of tragic waste.
Feed me Saviour ever more
The love that flows with every cup
Grant me my fill each day
That keeps me living and bears me
up.
