Revelation 22:17
“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let the hearer say, “Come.” Let the one who thirsts come forward…”
In this verse from the end of the last book of the Bible, God reminds us of powerful images for our relationship with Him that He gives us earlier in the Word of God: the Spirit in us, crying to God in prayer, "Abba, father"; as brides with Jesus as our passionate beloved in the Song of Songs; and being thirsty for Jesus' water of life like the woman at the well. God calls anyone who has ears to hear to come and listen.
We have the choice as to how we respond to God's invitation. Do we take time to pray in a spirit of openness? How is Jesus asking us to come to Him today, to leave behind our fears and our selfishness?
