You are the richest of fare


"To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life."
rev 21:6

“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.
Why spend money on what is not bread,
   and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
   and you will delight in the richest of fare.
Give ear and come to me;
   listen, that you may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
   my faithful love promised to David. 

is 55:1-3


The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
rev 22:17

Something dynamic occurs when we take all of the depths of yearning within and turn 
toward God only to find that He is actually the author of it, and He is vehemently committed to satisfying it with Himself.  This is the romance of the Gospel.
