Lord 🙏🙏

For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

Throughout the New Testament, we see examples of Jesus giving water to those who are thirsty. While this holy water is symbolic for the water of life that only comes from believing in Jesus, Jesus also tells his followers that if they give actual water to those thirsty because they follow him, they will be rewarded. Those serving Jesus should not just be sharing the Gospel with others but also giving to those needing food and drink. We are called to help those in need – sometimes, it begins with offering a cup of water.

Dear God, allow me to see those who are in need and show me how to meet their basic needs as well as their spiritual needs. Help me not to overlook how serving in simple ways shows the love of Jesus. Give me opportunities to love others following your example. Thank you for sending your son, Jesus Christ, not only to save me from my sins but to be an example of love for all humanity. May I live a passion of love that brings others to you? In Jesus’ name, amen.
