Why the pebble?

I hope u have read the poem below before reading this:

I know it's weird that I call myself a pebble. (I used to be in a group of friends who called outselves the Pebbles.But that's beside the point) But just

Do you feel lonely sometimes? Or perhaps you think you have the worst life in the world? You're dry and down, nothing to look forward to? You wish someone would just sit with you and listen to your problems and not bother about talking about themselves or what they think of your problem?

We sometimes feel this , occuring more so often during festivals when you see people having a great time partying, and then you wonder, why am I feeling so down deep inside? Why am I not like them? Or perhaps you're standing in a noisy crowd but feeling lonely and sad ? The crowd can't cheer you up? Is there something wrong with with the crowd or is it you?

I've this feeling sometimes of not fitting in, but sticking out like a sore thumb. We go through this sometimes in every part of our lives, our family, our job, our relationships. We find no satisfaction in whatever we do, or we have broken relationships. Our lives feel dry and we are exhausted on the long and hard life journey.

A friend said, one pebble cannot fill another pebble up, nor satisfy it. The pebbles need each other, but they still could not satisfy that inner most desires of their lives. The pebbles need water ; we need the LIVING water.

Jesus offers himself as the LIVING water for everyone.

Jesus said:"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." (Matt 11:28 -NIV) Jesus also said "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, "Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." (John 4:10)

We often look at other sources for the fulfillment of our desires, and we wonder why they cannot be fulfilled. Humans have desires, because God gave them to us. However, God also wants us to look for Him first before looking at others as a source of fulfillment. We tend to look for answers in things like fengshui, 'prophets' , geomancy, fortune tellers, or stretch out for friends and family members for answers.

Isn't it time to look for the answer at THE source itself?
