“ …but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
While reading the Bible this afternoon, the word “fountain” hit me like it’s never hit me before. You know to which I’m referring. It’s a moment that happens to each of us as a person of faith, when suddenly His Word will quicken and touch us right there and then!
Where the Word will jump out and touch your very heart and soul. The soul in which He alone created. He will give you a passage, or a Word, that will grab a hold of you in a powerful and meaningful way.
Fountain. What does it mean to you?
We’re all familiar with Jesus’ words, “I am the living water, those who drink from me will never thirst again.” He said it to the Samaritan woman by the well. And it’s mentioned, or referenced, throughout the Bible, in the Gospels, and in the Old Testament.
The Word is pregnant, it grows. You can never know too much…each time you read a passage or a scripture, new things will open up to you. Depending on what the Father will want you to see, it’ll be tailored made most times for each person. He knows our every need and desire…most times before we even know.
Anyhow, with the word Fountain, I suddenly felt overwhelmed. I realized more than ever that I have my own personal fountain. I’ve always known that, but I saw it in a different light today. Personal fountain to replenish, nourish and sustain.
Living water! And I will never thirst as long as I drink from it.
If I’m tired and weary, all I have to do is take a sip of water and my body, mind, and soul will be rejuvenated.
If I need to feel refreshed, all I have to do is drink.
Our mortal flesh bodies need water to “physically live” without water we will die. The body can do without food awhile, but water…physically it’s a MUST have.
But so too it’s a MUST have spiritually.
If we don’t drink from the Living Water…spiritually we will die. We can’t live or exist in the spiritual self without the water of the Living God.
As long as we sip and partake in His Living Water we will grow and flourish. The Precious and Living flowing Fountain is there for us to drink at will, 24/7! When we drink we will thrive beyond what we could ever have thought possible.
Drink, live, thrive!
Jesus…our fountain of life, our fountain of joy, our fountain of LOVE.
Amen!

How refreshing it was in school to drink from water fountains
I watched that show with my mom so many times…up until about two weeks before her death she called to tell me it was on Turner Movie Classics…we watched it together on the phone!
Now she is drinking daily from that beautiful fountain before the LORD!
Thank you for your encouragement and mutual love in the LORD!
