Welcome back
Are you believing for something good to come today? How about new joy? That comes as we abide in the Lord Jesus Christ. A certain joy that is not made by man's accomplishments. His arrive up an imagined ladder of success. It is not made any more than a mountain spring can be wished for. Our hope is where the Spirit of the Lord is.
Do you want the kind of joy that bubbles up and spills over into the those around you? For me, it takes effort to take the first steps after a long drawn out and difficult winter. I have had to shake the cobwebs from my mind by reading the Truth found in God's Love Letter. It works to keep me still to listen and it works to help me pick up my feet and walk forward in faith.
Living close to Jesus is the key. Staying. That is where the power comes from. His Spirit springs up within us! Remembering that we never walk this journey alone.
I am thinking of Springs arrival and have a new delight in my soul. He is doing a new thing! Want to know what that looks like? Remember when Jesus died on the cross for you and I He didn't stay dead. God raised Him up from that death pit and brought to pass an amazing, wonderful and unspeakable grace. This is ours for the taking.
Look at your reflection in the water of life. Do you see a delightful change? Look at your own heart, can you feel that steady beating of life from the Father? God loves us and is really our Father in heaven preparing a place for us. It could be this spring. Dip your hands into that fresh water and wash off sleep that has held you captive for way too long.
I pray in Jesus name that you and I desire more and more of the presence of Jesus. More life overflowing from our cup to the thirsty and dying world. Taking time to speak a word of life to a stranger. Listening and sharing their grief. Then, together in prayer bringing the burdens to the foot of the cross.
Take a bath in Living water today! Head to toe be transformed into the likeness of Christ. Free from the nasty lies and the scum collected from day to day. Pray for one another and love with the Love of Jesus. Time marches on. Remember where you came from. Take that trek to the heights where the waters come from. I am praying for you.
"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
Regardless of your circumstances, put on a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness, that you might be called an oak of righteousness, the planting of the Lord...Isaiah 61:3. In Jesus matchless name, amen.
Abundance is...water for Life
