Last night, I felt God's smile over me like a warmth around my soul. I didn't do anything in particular that day that one might point to and say, "Oh, God is pleased with her service/performance/growth/etc." I just lived out my day as usual. But there are times when I sense His intense pleasure in me just as I am, His beloved redeemed one, and I know that it has nothing to do with my effort. God is pleased with Jesus and I am in Jesus, so I get to taste the full intensity of the Father's delight without lifting a finger. The weight of that love is overwhelming. Last night was such a time. This is what He whispered to my heart...
"You are sweet! Salt water deceives: the more you drink, the more it leaves you parched. This world is the same. But there is a sweet, ever-fresh Water that hydrates in Truth. You have a deep well of this inside, a sacred reservoir of Me that supplies you and never runs dry. You also have a spring of this sweet Living Water bubbling up; it sprinkles, showers, and drenches others around you with My goodness. I love that about you!"
I don't want to hog this beautiful word for myself! I want to bless all you who are the Springs of Sweet Water...Jesus is flowing out of you to refresh a very thirsty world. As He flows through you, He also refreshes you! Rejoice in the Source!
Bliss to you!
