Drawing Of The Water




I have worked for the non-profit humanitarian organization World Vision, Inc. for several years and I learn first-hand the many disasters that affect so many around the world. I see up close and personal through media the effects of hunger, devastation and disaster. My heart goes out to the millions who are affected in so many ways, especially the children. We in the western world really do not know what it is like to be hungry or to live in a land that has no clean water. We can never relate to walking miles just to dig for water, dirty and disease ridden water, and to carry that dirty water back to our homes to cook, clean, and bathe in. We can just go to our taps and turn it on and presto, clean water.  Lack of water is the main cause of death.

In John 4:13 Jesus talked about the benefit of water. Not the running water from our taps, wells, or streams, but eternal life-saving water. Jesus replied, Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.

This water is eternally and spirituality life-saving. This water changes our lives in the spiritual. When Jesus sat at the well and talked with the Samaritan woman, she did not know what type of water he was talking about. When he shared with her about this water she was amazed and asked how can she obtain the water. She was thinking that she would not have to come to the well and draw water. The Samaritan woman later learned about the water of life.

That is what God wants for us, to believe, and when we believe we have that life sustaining water. When we believe we know without a a doubt that there is a Messiah. I encouraged you to seek this life changing water of Jesus Christ. He knows you. He cares for you. He loves you and his arms are waiting for you. There is nothing that you have done that is so bad that you cannot go to the Father.

I am so thankful that I know and have a Savior that is all knowing and all caring. I am thankful for the life-saving water that flows freely and sustains my life and for that, I will forever be nourished by the unconditional love of Jesus Christ.

Be Blessed

    Thanks for sharing this, Lynette. In this busy world, we seek everything else but the God we should be seeking and finding our happiness in Him.

Celebration Of Life

Looking back over my life I can honestly say I did good shoot, I did better than good. Loosing my mother at 16 and me being a teenage mother I didn't crumble, crash and burn. Oh I did a zig when I should have made that zag. I believed too many lies and did not pay attention to the sirens warning me to run for the hills. I have made plenty of mistakes and many I wish I could go back and reverse, but God knew the plans he had for me because His word says that our steps are ordered. I have learned a lot about the psychological makeup of people including myself and that is why nothing surprises me anymore. I am not easily tricked up even though I may act like I don't see it, I do. I expect nothing and appreciate everything. Though I may be different, I celebrate my different because it and God has saved my life.  Bad choices and learned lessons. At 52 there are things that no longer matter as they did when I was young and impressionable. Looking back, all I can say is tha...

I Won't Complain

After a few work days of buses not showing up for their scheduled stops, me getting home close to 2 hours later than normal,  and no good sleep I'm reminded still, how good God is. Even the periodic snaps of depression and anxiety haven't caused me to forget how good God is. The key is encouraging myself because all storms pass. It amazes me to see so many people unaware of the true effects of mental illness. They tell you, get over it. They are the ones who have no debilitating physical or educational knowledge of the struggles. They don't understand the fight everyday to remain in a visual normal state of mind with tending to the tasks requiring your presence. They can't understand why you cry for no apparent reason. Unaware that some wish to lay down at any given time to sleep hoping to never awake again. Unaware that at any moment a fuse can blow in ones mind and all hell can be unleashed. Unaware that they may see beauty or bronze, while a depressive is seeing...

Stop Hiding Your Flaws part 2

In my last post, I talked about our flaws and why we shouldn't hide them. When I say flaw, I do not mean to insinuate worthlessness. No, I am pointing out that what others may see as a flaw, God created as a masterpiece, unique and particular. Yes, everything about you is unique and that is why I express the importance of not hiding. The definition of a flaw: a mark, fault, or other imperfection that mars a substance or object. Our lives are filled with many flaws. Unable to give birth,  unable to read or write, unable to drive a motor vehicle.  Deeper flaws of the physical and emotional are disfigurement,  physical disability,  missing limbs., mental illness.  These are all unique. Why do I say unique?  Because each of the above mentioned is an open door to revealing much more than the flaw itself. It is an opportunity to share and enlighten someone who needs to hear your story and see the winner before them. Courageous. Not defeated or defective...
