When I cried out, "I thirst," on that fateful day I was crucified, I was not just thirsting for water. I was thirsting for the fellowship I so enjoyed with My followers.
I knew that My death and resurrection would open the door for many to be with Me eternally, but I longed for the comfort of My followers. Only My mother, her sister, Mary, Mary Magdalene,. and John were at My feet. All of the disciples I chose except for John had abandoned Me. I felt a loneliness then that is past explaining.
I had to experience loneliness and abandonment in order to identify with all those who feel lonely and abandoned. Today pray for the many throughout the earth who are thirsting for someone to comfort and love them. You may know of someone like that today. Reach out to them.
