Lydia - Her Promise

Lydia - Her Promise

Lydia’s life reveals a God who longs for relationship with his people. Lydia’s openness to the truths Paul preached was not her own doing; God saw her hunger for him, and he met her deepest need — her need for him. He is still touching hearts today. The longings you feel for intimacy with him, the emptiness you experience when you’ve tried everything else and still hunger, the burning need you have for wholeness — these can only be satisfied when you start with the Alpha and end with the Omega, Jesus Christ, your beginning and your end.

Promises in Scripture

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

— Psalm 90:14

Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?

Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. . . .

Seek the LORD while he may be found;
call on him while he is near.

— Isaiah 55:2, 6

But those who drink the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

— John 4:14

He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give to water without cost from the spring of the water of life.”

— Revelation 21:6
