I know that this video is about the need to recycle plastic (in which I agree). But, seeing bottle after bottle of water being drained away reminds me that we all have this insatiable thirst within us that will never be quenched. Though we drink and drink and drink, we will always have to drink more. This reminds me of Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well who was also thirsting (John 4:1-45), but her thirst was for more than just water, she thirsted to be loved and accepted. But, because of her brokenness and shame, instead of finding lasting security, she wandered from lover to lover.

When Jesus encounters her, He offers her what her heart's been thristing for: He offers her eternal security (John 4:13-14). In this divinely orchestrated moment, He loves and accepts her just as she is and then offers her Himself, the Messiah, the Savior of her soul (John 4:26). The One who will satisfy the eternal thirst of her heart. What is it that you thirst for? Have you allowed Jesus to satisfy your eternal thirst?
