John 7:37-38 … The Living Water of LOVE (01/13/14)
“On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink … As the scripture has said, ‘”Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.”'” ~ John 7:37-38
To the optimist, the glass is half-full …
To the pessimist, the glass is half-empty …
To the pragmatist, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be …
And to the one who walks The Way of Love, there is always enough water in the glass to give another a moment of pure solace in their times of thirst.
No matter how hard we have it or how poor we might be, we all have more than enough “water ” (Love) in our “cups” (Hearts) to bring more than a bit of Peace to a stranger in need of the same.
Remember, my Friends, our truest Joy comes not from getting enough to drink ourselves, but rather from even briefly soothing the parched suffering of another.
So … Got Joy?
