New Beginnings

Daily we are led by our heavenly Father to a stream of living water where we shall be refreshed.
Sometimes, especially after a major crisis in our lives or just a very hectic schedule we need to sit and drink alongside a stream. Many years ago when I was going through a difficult patch with a boyfriend of mine, we had in fact ended our relationship, but there were issues we needed to sort out. He called for me after work and took me to this spot along the coast. We turned off the busy highway and he drove through bush until we found this spot. To this day I can still see it. There was a running stream, surrounding by rocks and trees. The sun peeped through the green leaves and shimmered on the water. What could have been a truly painful farewell, turned into an afternoon of beauty. We sat for ages, drinking in the beauty and just talking through our relationship. The highs and the lows.
I believe God does the same for us. He calls us daily to find a quiet spot. To sit alongside Him and just to talk through our relationship with Him. He wants to give us life and life in abundance and only through daily meeting with Him, will we be refreshed.
When talking to the woman at the well Jesus says to her"Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. John 4 vs 13 and 14.
Let us daily meet with Him in our chosen spot and let us drink of this water He has to offer us daily.
Have a blessed day.
