Are You Saturated?

Are you saturated?

When I think of the word “saturated” I think of a sponge. When a sponge is saturated with water, it is full to overflowing…it is dripping…it will overflow with whatever it has soaked up when it is squeezed.

Which leads to the question, “What have we soaked up? What comes out when we are squeezed by life’s circumstances?”

What are we saturated with? God…or something else?

DRINK DEEP!

It has been so hot in North Florida this summer!!  Because of the lack of rain, I have been turning on the sprinklers and even using the water hose to water by hand our new grass seed and yard. 

I find myself actually enjoying standing in the yard and holding the hose as the life-giving water flows to the thirsty grass and plants.  I feel so relaxed and at peace and full of joy as I give my plants what they need.

And isn’t this how the Lord must feel as He lets His Living Water flow upon our thirsty souls and spirits? I hear the Lord saying to us:

Beloved, are you thirsty?

Beloved, are you dry?

Come to Me and be filled.

Come to Me and be drenched

in My life-giving Water.

Let My Water seep down

into the roots of your need.

Let My Water cause new life

to rise up within you.

I am here; I am with you.

Drink deep…
