We can only get as much Water ...
Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 8:28 amWe can only get as much Water as the vessel we carry .
When God sent us His ONLY Begotten , He sent us ALL He got , not just a bit and a piece here and there .
Samaritan woman said , "This is the well Jacob had dug , and we been getteing water from here from upteen years "
The Water God sent was the Water he separated from dry land in Genesis . Vast ... never ending ... drink till you drown (if you want
)
But , however , and as sad as it is , we can only get as much of that Water as the size of our vessels ... you carry a thimble , you get a thimblfull , carry a pail you get a pailfull ... same Price !
Here's the thing , thirsty people with only a glass in their hands , can only quench their own thirst , and they keep spending the rest of their life walking back and forth from the Spring (or well) ... and by the time they're done , they have nothing left to SHARE , or to give others a TASTE of that Water ... they can only TALK about it .
Carry a bigger vessel ... no matter how HEAVY it might get when filled with Water , bring it back to town , have everyone in you path get a taste ... thennnn ... SHOW them where you got it from and how .
"Walk softly , but carry a big stick"
In Christ , our Lord
