I was scrolling through my Facebook page and came across this and it spoke volumes to me..
TRUE STORY!
A few years ago I was getting these really insane water bills. I mean
HIGH! So I decided to dig some wells in my yard to have water for my
landscape. I live alone, so I know it had to be from watering the grass.
So I hired a company to come out and dig these wells. The foreman and I
walked all around my yard and as we were walking he was putting down
flags. I asked what the flags were for. He said, "The flags represent
good places to dig for water." I asked, "Why do you have so many flags?"
He said, "I'm not sure if any of these places will produce water." I
said, "Hold up, you mean if you dig all these spots and don't hit water I
still have to pay you?" He said, "Yes, that's how it goes." I said,
"Ok, fine." Needless to say, he dug three wells and never hit water. I
said, "Just stop."
I got a few more extreme water bills and
called him back. He said, "Are you sure?" I said, "Yes, keep drilling
until you hit water." The next well he dug he was down 500 feet and
still didn't hit any water. He asked if I wanted him to stop. I said,
"Go deeper." He dug down another 200 feet and still nothing. I said, "Go
deeper." He drilled another 200 feet and he hit rock. I said, "Blast
it, cut it, do whatever you have to do but keep digging." After fighting
the rock and breaking his drill and getting a new one we got a little
deeper. He said, "We are at 1,200 feet, why do you want me to keep
going?" I said, "Cause I'm tired of these water bills and I'm going to
do something about it." He said, "But this is really deep." I asked him
if he had hit water yet. He said "no," so I told him to go deeper. "But
you don't understand," he said. "We don't usually drill this deep, this
is going to be expensive." I told him that, "Sometimes you have to go
deeper to get what you are after, no matter what the cost." He started
the machine and went down another four inches and hit a river of water.
Just a few inches separated me from getting my breakthrough. That was
five years ago and that well has never run dry.
In 2013 I want
you to apply that to your life in all ways. Sometimes you will spend
time on a thing and it will produce no water. Don't be afraid to move on
to another spot. YOU CAN'T HAVE FEAR. I don't care how much time you
put into it. If the well is dry MOVE ON! Nothing lives where there is no
living water. Be it a relationship, a job, a business, don't be afraid
to move to another spot.
Now, on the other hand, if you are
digging your well and you are sure that it is not only where you want to
be but where God wants you to be, then keep digging in that same spot.
Don't stop digging until you hit a river of blessings. Don't stop
praying until you live in the change you've been waiting for. Don't stop
pushing until you deliver your breakthrough. Yes, it will get
difficult. Yes, you may hit rock. Yes, there will be a cost. But when
you get to what God is trying to get you to, YOU WILL RECOVER IT ALL!
One of my favorite scriptures says that. "PURSUE AND YOU SHALL RECOVER
IT ALL!"
Some people give up when they are only inches away!!
Peace and Love
