GOD HAS COME BACK ON HIS MIND

John 7:37-38 On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’ 

In a little corner of our back garden we have a beautiful clump of primroses which always make my heart glad because they’re one of my favourite flowers. They looked as though they might not make it, what with the snow and freezing temperatures we’ve had, and last summer they were all but destroyed by slugs. Yet here they are again, as lovely as ever! They always come back stronger and more beautiful than before because their roots go down deep.

Our lives can feel a bit like that if we’ve had a battle on our hands and it can leave us feeling somewhat depleted. But the good news is Jesus is never depleted, He’s still the strength of our lives and He’s never abandoned us so we still have everything going for us.😊

Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.

So just in case you’ve been going through a dry patch where you feel like you don’t have much left to give why not bring these two promises to God’s throne and ask Him to give you a fresh infilling of His life giving water to restore you. Jesus promised as we believe and drink from Him rivers of living water will flow from our heart. It’s the Holy Spirit doing it and He’s promised to make us like a well watered garden once again. 

Like the primroses, no matter what your setbacks, God has your come back all planned and prepared for, because your roots have been safely anchored in Him even when you couldn’t see anything in the natural. 

As we begin this new week with the Lord, He is encouraging each one of us to know He will  make us like an ever-flowing spring. Have a blessed week.😊
