Putting faith in yourself is like filling a broken glass with water
and trying to drink out of it.
Putting faith in God is to drink from an eternal spring of living water.

 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him
will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him
will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
John 4:13-14, ESV
