“Water and petrol both come from the earth, and though they seem to be alike and even the same, they are in nature and purpose exact opposites, for the one extinguishes fire and the other adds fuel to it. So also the world and its treasures, the heart and its thirst for God are alike His creation. Now the result of the attempt to satisfy the heart with the wealth and pride and honours of this world is the same as if one tried to put out a fire with petrol, for the heart can only find ease and satisfaction in Him who created both it and the longing desire of which it is conscious.” IfsWorldHeartSeemsEarthDesirePurposeWaterWealthResultsFireCreationThis WorldPrideConsciousOppositesLongingAddSatisfactionTreasureEaseFuelHonourConsumerismThirstOverconsumptionPetrolThirst For God Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh
“Salt, when dissolved in water, may disappear, but it does not cease to exist. We can be sure of its presence by tasting the water.

“While sitting on the bank of a river one day, I picked up a solid round stone from the water and broke it open. It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it. The fault is not in Christianity, but in men's hearts, which have been hardened by materialism and intellectualism.” PeopleMenWorldHeartHas BeensFactsWaterChristianityCenturyOne DayBenefitsSittingRiversStonesFaultsWesternRoundsBrokeDrySpiteMaterialismIntellectualismWestern WorldHardened Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh
“From time immemorial men have quenched their thirst with water without knowing anything about its chemical constituents. In like manner we do not need to be instructed in all the mysteries of doctrine, but we do need to receive the Living Water which Jesus Christ will give us and which alone can satisfy our souls.” MenNeedsGivingSoulJesusChristWaterKnowingMysteryJesus ChristDoctrineChemicalsThirstConstituents Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh
“During an earthquake it sometimes happens that fresh springs break out in dry places which water and quicken the land so that plants can grow. In the same way the shattering experiences of suffering can cause the living water to well up in a human heart.” WayHumansWellsHeartSometimesHappensSufferingGrowsCausesWaterBreakLandSpringPlantDryHuman HeartEarthquakesBreak OutShatteringSpring Break Author:Sadhu Sundar Singh
