(John 3a) ?
Taking the back seat is not always easy, especially if the front seat gives you advantages and notoriety. Such was the life of John the baptist. He had a great following and many thought that he might even be the Messiah. But, John maintain a pure heart after the will of God. He knew his calling and was content to be the one who would blaze the trail for the Son of God. Not only a true prophet, but an example of true humility and submission. John picked up his cross and followed Jesus unto death. He took the back seat of popularity and lifted up the Son of God. (john 3b)
Life and it’s problem, conflicts, and misunderstandings often causes one to become dry and barren within the soul. The load is often too heavy and exhausting. The soul cries out for water for living water that will revive the heart once again. Surely, there is a well in this barren land of life. My soul is thirsty for something that will give strength and aid as I travel this journey of life. “Lord, give me of this living water, that I thirst not”. (john4)
There is nothing like a personal experience. Hearing about the wonderful works of God is great, but being able to experience it for yourself is something that will impact your life forever. Hearing the good news of Jesus and what He is able to do for you seems to good to be true, but once you have tasted for yourself of the grace of God, life takes on a completely new meaning. Like the Samaritans, I now believe because when He touched my heart, and life has never been the same. (john4b)
