rivers of living water

6/7//11 My breath prayer today comes from John 7:38, "Let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, Out of the believer's heart shall flow rivers of living water." It is really dry around our part of Texas just now. We have already had 5 days where the temperature has hit 100 degrees. You can almost watch the grass turn brown in front of your eyes. Slaughter Creek that runs through the park behind our house is not running, or even trickling. It is painful to see.

I long...we all long for streams of living water. Creation cries out for showers of mercy.

Jesus says that those who believe in him shall have rivers of living water out of them, out of their hearts. As I was praying this passage, it came to me, that I would first need to get the water of life flowing into me, before it would start flowing out of me.

I am being refreshed by being part of Vacation Bible School this week. Just a few minutes ago, we sang with the children, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength." They were attentive, reverent, engaged. It touched my soul. It filled my soul. Rivers of living water began to flow into me. I pray that they may flow out of me into lives of others.

Love,
Lynn
