Cheryl had made some changes in her lifestyle because she wanted to be a greater witness for the Lord.
Those changes included walking for about 30 minutes every day, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, and losing about 40 troublesome pounds she had been promising to shed for more than 10 years. Cheryl knew that she needed to drink the proper amount of water to keep her body hydrated, so although she loved sweet tea and soft drinks she decided to drink water most of the time.
Cheryl treated herself to a cup of sweet tea to celebrate her decision. She dedicated the rest of her life to her new passion: Fresh water. She drank water with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. She drank a glass of sweet tea only about once a month.
Before long, Cheryl began to feel more energized and alert. “Water is almost like a miracle drug,” she said. “I’m going to ask my friends to join me on life’s journey with water.”
One Friday after work, Cheryl met her best friend, Carlissa, at the Mall for an evening of shopping and conversation. Carlissa noticed that two bottles of spring water were in Cheryl’s purse. “So when did you become so crazy about water?,” Carlissa asked.
“Just recently,” Cheryl said. “I wanted to be healthier, so I could be a better witness for the Lord. “This water is so great! I wish I had made my decision many years ago.”
“I couldn’t live without my sweet tea and soft drinks!,” Carlissa exclaimed. “I’d never be able to make it through the day without them!”
“I drink a lot of water because I want to be healthy,” Cheryl said. “But I also want to glorify Jesus Christ in every aspect of my life. When I’m on the job, I want to be a good testimony. When I’m engaged in leisurely activities, I want to glorify God.”
Cheryl told Carlissa that drinking lots of water made it much easier to share her faith in Christ with other people. “How can a simple glass of water help you to tell others about the Lord?,” Carlissa asked. “It’s tasteless, odorless, calorie-less. It has no redeeming social value.”
“Water helps us to thrive while we’re alive,” Cheryl replied. “And Jesus offers Living Water. In John, chapter 4, Jesus told the woman at the well that ‘whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.’”
“Wow!,” exclaimed Carlissa. “Only God could think of a concept like that!”
“You’ve got that right!,” Cheryl said. “And that’s the kind of water that could never be put in a bottle!”
