“Who’s your source?”   When I was little I thought I might be a writer, like John Boy Walton.  Or maybe work at a newspaper.   I loved the movie “The Post”.  It showed the power of sharing information at the right time.  Getting the scoop – from the right source.

By now, you obviously know Who our source is:  Jesus is the source of everything for Steve and me – and our marriage.   I think – no, I KNOW – this is why we’ve made it to 30 years.  If left on our own, we would have run out of …. everything….   long ago.   But Jesus is our endless supply.  He is the only One who can meet each of our needs, so that we have something to give to the other.   He is the only One who will not let us down or fail us, so we are safe and secure when the other does.  He is the only One who has the real, abundant LIFE that we all crave – and we are so thankful He has come to live inside of us and give us this LIFE, like a well of living water springing up within us.   That way, we come to our marriage with souls that are full and overflowing to be a blessing to the other.  Instead of looking to our spouse to ‘fill me’,   ‘sustain me’ ,   ‘complete’ me….  No, Jesus has already done all of that for each of us, individually, so that we come to each other ready to give, not take.    Ready to share life, not grasp for it in neediness.  Ready to journey together toward our One whom we love and Whom we have chosen to serve:   toward the Source of all Life and Love:   Jesus.

Honestly, if we look to each other to be our source of life, it just won’t satisfy.  But we hope today you might be reminded you can be.   Satisfied.   In Him.

“Jesus answered, ‘If you drink from Jacob’s well you’ll be thirsty again and again, but if anyone drinks the living water I give them, they will never thirst again and will be forever satisfied!  For when you drink the water I give you it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, springing up and flooding you with endless life!”    John 4: 13-14

Today we are sending you a resource.   This sermon from the Upper Room is one of our favorites on marriage.   We pray you will be blessed as you listen together!!
