John 7:38
Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, “Out of
his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
By faith, we receive Jesus into our lives. When we receive Our Savior, we receive His
living water that can flow continuously from our hearts if we are in submission
to the Cross and not to ourselves. Just as we thirst for water for our bodies, may we desire the spiritual blessings that can only be satisfied by the sanctifying and comforting presence of the Holy Spirit flowing into and through our lives.
The flow can manifest itself in many ways. It can range from the smallest, unseen
kindness to a magnificent production on the grandest of stages. The flow is as a fountain of living, running
water that is providing continuous streams that are all at once cooling, calming,
refreshing and cleansing. The flow is plentiful, constant as a river. It is a continuous stream of the fullness of Jesus Christ and His grace. It is a miraculous stream that overwhelms the opposition that stirs our fears and our doubts.
These life giving streams have flowed from Our Redeemer throughout all
time to every place and person. These
streams continue through us. May we
submit fully to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives so that God's goodness
may be poured out through us to the world around us.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for using us as founts of Your
living water. We praise You for the
refreshing and cleansing that it brings into our own lives as we allow the
waters to pass through us. We humbly and
anxiously submit to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We pray that we come into the fullness of the
flow so that the thirst of those around us may be quenched as we are quenched. We ask all these things in the name of the Life Giving Spirit, Jesus Christ.
