Look closely at the deer. He’s a loner. Imperfect.
In the world of nature, those imperfections put him at a disadvantage. He would lose in a battle with another buck, so he stays to himself.
Alone he forages at the back of our property and startles us when we walk up on him unawares. But he still holds himself with dignity in spite of his deformities.
And he still needs water.
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God,” says the psalmist.
Are we like the deer? Do we pant for the Life-Giver? Do we pursue Him in spite of our imperfections and failures? Our unworthiness.
May we always!
There is no other source than Creator God.
He doesn’t tell us to go away and come back when we’re more together. He doesn’t tell us we’re not quite ready. He tells us what we need so desperately to hear …
“Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink – ” (Isaiah 55:1)
Be like the deer.

To all who are thirsty
I will give freely from the
springs of the water of life.
Revelation 21:6
Grace Hutton’s gaze wavered, but only a moment, then her hands clamped onto her waist. “I need someone to watch Mrs. Berkshire while I ride home and tell my family that I’ll be staying in town for a few days. It will take a while to get there and back, and I don’t want to leave her alone that long. You know her story—you were there. Can’t you please come and sit with her? Or have you never cared for the infirm? Anyone other than yourself.”
Dan’s teeth clenched, and his grip tightened on the door. He’d never lit into a woman and he wasn’t about to start now. But Miss Hutton was worrying her luck and his patience. ~Covering Grace
