IS THE RIVER FLOWING
“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
John 7:37,38 (King James Version)
When we accept Jesus as our personal Saviour, He puts a river of living water in us. However, there are times when we stop the river of living water from flowing because of our attitudes and the way we act.
When we are critical and judgmental of people, the river of living water in us can’t flow freely. We put a barrier in the way of the river. It is time that we start loving one another unconditionally as Jesus has commanded us to love them.
There are many people who are thirsty for love. They need to know that Jesus loves them. Unless they see Jesus in our smiles and hear Him in our words and feel Him in our actions, they will never accept Him as their personal Saviour.
I don’t know about you but I don’t want to have to hang my head in shame on the judgment day because I didn’t live for Jesus. Is the river of life flowing in your life? Do your family and your friends see Jesus in your smiles and hear Him in the kind words you say?
Heavenly Father, we confess that we have sinned because we don’t always love one another unconditionally. Please have mercy on us and forgive us. Help us to live so that people will see Jesus in our smiles and hear Him in the kind words to say to each other. Amen.
