“RIVERS OF LIVING WATER”

God wants us to be like a sponge.  Soaking up His presence, power, and perfume of LOVE.  Are you around JESUS enough to soak Him up?    If someone says to you “I feel loved when I’m around you.”  Say “thank you, I’m not always this way, what you sense or are aware of is the LOVE of God. It is His LOVE flowing through me that you feel.” WOW!!!

Then allow Him to RING US OUT and shower his grace, presence, power and perfume of LOVE on others.  Too often we hope for a life without any troubles. It is not possible. But through the troubles Jesus can MATURE us IF we suffer well, not crying and complaining all the time about why it has happened to us and feeling He should get us out now!!!  We will look for His grace, presence, power, and perfume of LOVE, for HIM to be with us as we go through the troubles.   As He allows the troubles to ring us out and let that river of living water flow to the thirsty of the world and church.

Talking to the woman at the well, who was a 5-time loser at life and love, who was tired of life had really given up on love and was living with a guy just to get by.  Jesus told her that out of her belly would flow rivers of living water.  It is a way of life for all of us.  Out of our in most being will flow rivers of living water.  Life, real life, enjoying the river of life as it flows through us, and giving life to others. It is not our possession.  It is not ours just to be refreshed.  (Like the Dead Sea, it will go dead and be deadly if it is not given out.)  But as He flows through us to others we continue to have that river of living water and enjoy Jesus, His presence, power, and perfume of LOVE.
