Filled With the Living Water

John 7


37 On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! 38 Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” 39 (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)

How blessed I am to live in the times when the Living Water has been freely given to those of us who love and follow the teachings of Jesus! What a peace that envelops me today even in the midst of Dad’s surgery (taking place as I type these words). Thank You, Lord Jesus, for providing the Comforter, the Living Water, to fill me so that the peace that passes understanding will indeed be strong within me on this day.
