John 7:38 "He who believes in Me, from his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water."
I live near the city of Artesia. That city derives its name from the artesian wells that used to be prevalent in the area. An artesian well is a free flowing fountain of water coming from the water table. I can't explain the geologic details, but suffice it to say that an artesian well is a wonderful, valuable natural resource.
Jesus wants me to be something akin to an artesian well. The Holy Spirit desires to be a free flowing fountain in my life, providing an unending supply of grace and mercy to all I meet. Unfortunately, the fountain sometimes becomes obstructed and clogged by debris - all the stuff of life that sidetracks me. Sometimes the water supply becomes polluted by sin.
My goal is to tap into the fresh, pure, never-ending river of life each morning. I ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any debris or pollutants and to clean it up. I want to be a channel of His blessings to all I encounter today.
