The Living Water

 

 

While reading John 4, I wanted to write about the Living water and to answer three questions, why would the all mighty God ask us to do something for him, If we want to be wise then what shall we ask for and what do we really have to offer people around us.

 

Why would God ask you to do something hard? Sometimes we feel overwhelmed because God is asking us to do something hard, or to give away something valuable. When this happens, it is important to remember this heavenly secret; what you are doing or giving is not to compare to what God can do or give to you. In this situation I pray that your eyes will be opened to understand the Grace of God and the gift we are given when He asks us. Because then we can ask and receive the Living Water. The Comforter, The Counselor, The Teacher, The Helper, The Strengthener and The Intercessor. With Him and through Him we can surly satisfy the desires of God’s heart. When God asks you to do something what He is really saying is: let me help you do this thing or give away something, almost never will God ask you to do something without offering his help. It is God’s way to offer himself. So always take advantage of his help and seek his Living water. We always need the Living Water to clean our wicked hearts and to give us new thoughts above our thoughts.

 

What are we asking for? We can discuss endlessly what is our basic needs. What we really want? You might have started making up your list but I am praying that as a believer you will live with a new perception. Simply we are not in need. We should never be thirsty. Instead we are a source of the living water. The divine plan is for us to take from God and give others. In our need we only have one source, one destination, and one request; The living Water. When we receive the living water, we become a source. We overflow and give eternal life. Don’t allow yourself to dry up. Whenever you need something know that God is leading you to the living Water. Ask because our faithful heavenly Father gives the Holy Spirit to those who ask.

 

What do we have to offer? Let the Water flow. We are invited to share the living water, not to keep it for ourselves. It is part of the nature of the water stream, it flows and over flows, you can’t store it in lake or slow it down. It also pushes the rocks that stop in its way and it cleans what it runs through. Give freely as you have received freely.

God is faithful

Mosses, David, Abraham and Joseph When we think of them we think of the salvation leader of Israel, the mighty king of praise, the blessed father of faith, the man who defeated sin and hanger. These are the ideas that come to our minds when we remember them, but in their history there is something different, something common between those heroes and period of time they all lived with faith above all doubts. And here it is; they all kept their faith in God while they were waiting for his promises to come true. It took God 40 years to reveal to Mosses how he will use him to deliver his nation, while David lived rejected and escaping from the king even though he was the anointed real king, Abraham was promised a blessings and a son who shall inherit this blessing while all wisdom and previous experiences were saying this was impossible and unreasonable. Finally Joseph was given a vision from God and for years he was treated as a guilty slave in jail. They all waited in the hard time, in t

This should be my life

Today I asked myself what is the most important thing in my life? It is a familiar question but finding the best answer is so important because this answer will determine your priorities, choices, goals and plans otherwise your life is just hanging around with no clear purpose or principles. The first idea that came to my mind is to be happy, but wait a minuet I recognize this voice, I usually hear it while I am hungry or tired. Yeah! it is the voice of the natural human living within me. Happiness can't be a reason for living otherwise I will be so self-centered and greedy. Happiness supposed to be a result of achieving a higher goal. But what is a good target? How about the challenge to work as hard as possible to achieve my targets lets say success, money, power or even competing with others to be a better person. No way, I still have the same problem, this also sounds even more selfish Since my first two guesses were self-centered, I started to look around me and realized I am

How to deal with healthcare burdens

  “The doctor has just told me I have pancreases cancer. I didn’t hear anything he said after that, would you please explain to me what does this mean again.” “Can you check for me again the diagnosis, I thought I have lung cancer but the papers mentioned something about kidney cancer and you said the drug is for kidney cancer, correct? I thought I have only one cancer.” A patient in his early forties sounded brilliant, full of energy and so friendly over the phone. He thought he had a cold but was told it is a late-stage cancer with a very low survival rate. A woman in her twenties said, “I take my transplant medications every day. I almost lost my kidney functions. I don’t want to lose this kidney because my previous three transplants have already failed. “ The last clinical note read, “He was upset he needs a bone marrow transplant. He knows his chances are not high” I prepared my call, trying to be encouraging, and when I called, I was told he passed away. How do you dea
