Come to the well

"Leave it all behind, and come to the well."

I recently had the privilege of attending a Casting Crowns acoustic concert.  They are one of my favorite groups, in general, but the acoustic setting was beyond amazing.  Highly recommend.  Check out this song:
What a good reminder for us to let go of the baggage we hold so tightly.

Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind

I have what you need, but you keep on searching
I’ve done all the work, but you keep on working
When you’re running on empty
And you can’t find the remedy
Just come to the well
You can spend your whole life
Chasing what’s missing
But that empty inside, it just ain’t gonna listen
When nothing can satisfy
And the world leaves you high and dry
Just come to the well

And all who thirst will thirst no more
And all who search will find
What their souls long for
The world will try but it can never fill
So leave it all behind
And come to the well

So bring me your heart, no matter how broken
Just come as you are, when your last prayer is spoken
Just rest in my arms a while
You’ll feel a change, my child
When you come to the well

And now that you’re full of love beyond measure
Your joy’s gonna flow like a stream in the desert
Soon all the world will see
Living water is found in me
‘Cause you’ve come to the well

Leave it all behind and come to the well

Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Leave it all behind

Your pursuit of perfection (leave it all behind)
Your fear of rejection (leave it all behind)
Your temporary pleasures (leave it all behind)
All your earthly treasures (leave it all behind)
Dried up empty religion (leave it all behind)
Rusty chains of addiction (leave it all behind)
All the guilt that weighs you down (leave it all behind)
Just leave it all behind and come to the well

What a great reminder - there is an answer to our questions, our searching, and our longings.  Things of this world are only temporary.  We need the gift of eternal life.

Prayer - Lord, I struggle to focus on the important things in life.  Help me to accept Your gift of love and life.
