Living water

I tell our kids often that trash in will equal trash out. Whatever we allow in us, through what we see, what we hear, what we watch, what we listen to, will influence and affect what comes out of our mouths. We can never be too careful with protecting what goes in so that we can protect what comes out.

There is no doubt that "times, they are a changing" fits today's current state of affairs. Yes, our parents thought that we were wild and rebellious and edgy. The problem today, though, is that kids have access to more with one search on the internet than my generation could learn in years. And, the ones making the "noise", being listened to, being quoted do not have their own best interest at heart, much less our children's.

Today's word is John 7:38, NKJV, which reads, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

We have to be diligent and intentional about what we allow into our minds because, eventually, that is what will come out. If we fill our minds, our thoughts, with things that are not pleasing to GOD, then, we will tell things that are not pleasing to GOD. Why? Because that is all we have to draw from.

When you drop the bucket into the well, you draw what is in the well. But, as Christians, our bucket should be drawing from the well of Living Water. As Christians, we have been filled with the Holy Spirit and we should dispense the water of life to others. What goes in will eventually come out. I want to dispense the water of Life.

Be Blessed,
