Loving Waters

At our new home we have a backyard waterfall fountain. The water cascade is about two feet wide and tumbles down a vertical wall of stacked slabs of sandstone and into an elevated shallow pool.

At one point this afternoon, because of the overhead position of the Sun, all of the tumbling steams of water were shaded - except one. One water course was hitting a rock and going a bit further out and catching the light. It looked like a stream of diamonds.

It got me to thinking, that we too could step out from shadows and catch, radiate, reflect and shine with the light of our God.

The Bible often talks about water. Here is quote from John 4:13-14:
"Jesus said to her, 'Everyone who drinks of this [well] water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I give will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give [to those who ask] will become a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'"

May the springs that flow from us be filled with the light of God and be a blessing to others.
