faith unfaded

Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. John 7:38

Living Water.

It’s alive. Your works, your light…it spreads and multiplies.

It flows. Have you ever seen a river as it encounters a giant boulder?

Does the water stop flowing?

Absolutely not. It may break the continuity of the flow but the water will work its way around the obstacle and continue to flow. It always finds a way.

Our problems are just like that boulder. We think we’ve hit a dead end but the water just needs to flow around. Our faith remains and will lead us to seek new paths in order to stay on course, just as water navigating around an obstacle.

Life will Jesus is like a whitewater rafting trip. Relaxing at times, thrilling at others. Times of work, times of rest. It may not always be smooth sailing but it can always be filled with joy. Put on the life jacket of the Holy Spirit and enjoy the ride.
