Water
John 18:36
“Therefore if the Son makes you free
you are free indeed”.
The freedom of every soul is not to find its freedom
but its master Jesus Christ Who came to set us free.
To please Life is the issue … not to take Life to contain it,
but to give Life so it may flow freely through us.
If Life is to flow through us … He will carve us like a riverbed
and through time the sediments will wash away.
The riverbed directional just helps the water to flow
to where the water will be found originally through itself.
The water is there to quench the thirst and for the cleansing.
The riverbed is there just for support.
If Christ is the Living Water Who flows over creation,
He will accumulate Himself in the lowest places.
Do most drink the water of wells which are hidden from the eye
or from mountain tops where ice reigns?
Has the western civilization just become a mountain top
no good to itself even to quench its own thirst?
