He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”John 7:38
The rivers flow endlessly, the ocean moves mysteriously, and the lakes abound in beauty, and the water slakes my thirst forever more.
The tranquil waters whisper Your name as we gaze and marvel at Your handiwork. Your Hands paint the magnificent landscape of our souls. Your touch releases love and hope.
We walk in Faith, not by sight and yet we see “all that You” have created. The mountains that brush the heavens. The flowers, the color of the sky. The rain that crashes down hard yet gentle enough that it doesn’t harm the flowers or petals.
The snow that cascades gently to the ground, each snowflake unique…as it blankets the earth in exquisite beauty. The baby deer struggling to stand as its mother licks it clean. The cuddly kitten that mews softly, the puppy opening his eyes as he looks for mommy. The newborn baby that wails as he takes his first breath outside his mother’s womb.
All things were created by you. We belong to you. With each step we take we want to become more Christ like in our charaters. We want to reveal our true spiritual selves…The one that will please you my Lord. We are the fruit of the Spirit, so therefore Christ lives in those who believe and accept Him as their Lord and Savior.
Being for Christ, and of Christ opens up a whole new dimension in us. The Lord wants to watch us grow. The living water abounds…the tranquil waters call and speak your name ever so softly Lord. They know who is Lord and Master. As we know You Lord…We have you dwelling within us. We have you with us always.
Be Loyal to The Faith
”Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.” 2 Timothy 1:13-14 (NKJV)
Christ is the true church and the One who will always be there. He promises us peace. He promises us eternal life. He is our redeemer. He is our King of Kings. He is our friend. He is our everything. He is the victorious conqueror of death. He is our salvation and our shade when we are scorched in the sun. He is beyond all measure and scope of understanding for our mortal minds to comprehend. But, we do know He is special, He is the truth, He is our hope, our reality, and HE is LOVE.
So the next time you walk by a lake, a river, an ocean, listen to the sound of the Living Water. You will hear “them whisper Christ’s name.” For He is our TRUE LIVING WATER.
