I love and worship
the God who is the fountain of living waters.
I love Jesus, God’s Son, who came to earth to make the abstract concrete
and who offers me living water from that fountain of living waters that becomes
a spring of water within me and quenches my thirst forever.
There is no need
of cisterns or water jars for I need not capture God; I cannot capture God, for
he is Spirit and unable to be restricted to handmade vessels. He fills everything but he cannot be
contained or restricted.
God is abundant
and eternal. He gives me abundant life
to enjoy eternally, just as the fountain of living water flows free; just as
the manna, the bread from heaven was not to be collected and hoarded, but to be
eaten and enjoyed fresh every morning, so is the living water not to be
collected and hoarded in cisterns or water jars, but enjoyed fresh as it
springs up within me and all around me, every moment of every day.
The Spirit of God,
the fountain of living waters must remain free.
There is no cistern or water jar that can hold it; there is no shelter
that can contain it. The cisterns build
by human hands become broken, unable to hold the water; the woman at the well
left her water jar behind, for her thirst had been quenched; Peter stopped his
plan of building tents to shelter Jesus, Moses, and Elijah when he heard God
say, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleases; Listen to him.”
Cease your
striving; stop your building; be still and know that God is God; find that
fountain of living waters and delight in Him abundantly and eternally.
