Streams of Living Water

I stand on the footbridge 

Listening to the gurgling brook

Rippling over rocks, then

Disappearing around the bend.

Not knowing where it began 

Or where it ends

Or all the gaps

It fills along its way

Sometimes a trickle

Sometimes overflowing its banks.

Thirsty ones along life's way 
See the flow of the Spirit in your life,

In the storms and in the droughts

Whether you feel empowered

Or stuck in the mud.

Amazing!

How God can turn things around for good.

You can't yet see all those you're reaching,
Refreshing, reviving,

Because of His river of life.

Karen Rice

Jesus said: "Whoever believes in Me, 

as the Scripture has said, 

Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

John 7:38

Don't Give Up

Even though hard times come until the Lord's return, we remember that from before the foundation of the world, there was always God's plan to bring glory to His Son, the LAMB OF GOD. And His glory will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.

Therefore we do not give up. Even though our outer person is being destroyed, our inner person is being renewed day by day. For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. So we do not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 HCSB

Faithful Father, Enduring Friend

My faithful Father, enduring friend,

Your tender mercy's like a river with no end.

It overwhelms me; covers my sin.

Each time I come into your presence

I stand in wonder once again.

Your grace still amazes me.

Your love is still a mystery..

Each day I fall on my knees.

Your grace still amazes me.

Phillips, Craig and Dean

Goodness

How great is Your goodness
that You have stored up for those who fear You
and accomplished in the sight of everyone
for those who take refuge in You.
You hide them in the protection of Your presence;

Psalm 31:19-20a HCSB

Forget Me Not

I will not forget thee or leave thee.

In My hands I'll hold thee.

In My arms enfold thee.

I will not forget thee nor leave thee.

I am thy Redeemer

I will care for thee.

Charles Gabriel

I will not forget you.

I have engraved you

on the palms of my hand.

Isaiah 49:15
