“If you knew the gift of God and who it is you are speaking to, you would ask him, and he would give you living water.” John 4:10 

Imagine: 
The Holy Spirit
rushing like a teal tidal wave 
roaring down the mountains;

thundering with the force of a thousand blue steel horses.
Never stopping, never losing stamina; 
spreading with uncontrollable confidence, 
fearing nothing and gaining speed. 
Consuming everything in its dry and wounded path.

Imagine:
this force coming 
straight—for—you. 
Your skin crawls with holy fear and wonder
as it thunders 
closer and closer.
And Closer.
High and deep and wide.
Deafening.

Imagine:
your heart banging in your chest 
with a longing to be swallowed whole 
for eternity. 

Imagine:
Living Water crashing into your form
soaking your entire being; 
every thought, every action!
Your deepest struggles
now lost in eternal wonder and awe;
In knowing you are fully known
and never fearing loss again.
