"My cup overflows." This familiar phrase from Psalm 23 reminds us that God does not bless us as much as we need. He blesses us far beyond our ability to contain it. Others have recognized this is much like a "well within us springing up to eternal life", "living water" that splashes everywhere and everyone around us.
Every day the world tells me what a loser I am, and a victim... from without and within I am messed up. When we listen to those lies we cease to be a blessing.
Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up in him for eternal life.” (John 4:13-14)
Then a voice came from the cloud, saying: “This is my Son, the Chosen One; listen to him!” (Luke 9:35)
Let's listen to the Son... and go get wet again.
