Earlier today I picked myself some pansies from our garden. Then, typical me, I left them on the bench and did something else. Then after an afternoon rest I awoke to find very sad dead looking pansies on the bench!
Well as you can see, from the photo, they are now in a vase of water and reviving quickly. I know that story will not surprise any of you but it set me to thinking!
Jesus Christ is 'the living water' for His people. As believers we sometimes we get busy or worried or just 'side tracked' and find ourselves 'wilted on the bench'. Jesus is our friend and when we turn back to him and seek His forgiveness and help He is very quick to forgive and revive us.
Just as the pansies are reviving in the vase of water so too Jesus hears and revives His children very quickly.
John 4:13 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
I love the new Getty hymn "Living Water" it is worth finding on line and enjoying!
