Are You Thirsty?

​“Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost." (Isaiah 55:1)
 
This is an offer that is hard to refuse. How often can you buy something without money? It's clearly a transaction, something is being purchased but we are not the ones who spend the money. This is something that is bought for us because someone else pays the price. It's paid for and then gifted to us. 
 
This gift is not dependent on our abilities or effort. There is, however, something we need that enables us to receive the gift and this, simply, is a desire. "Come". 
 
We are never commanded to do something for God, we are always invited. 
 
This is what our Father is like. He invites us to come and have the desire of our heart satisfied. We may not know it, but within each of us there is a longing to know the Father as we made in his image. His nature is within us and that draws us to him. 
 
So if you desire more, simply “come”.
