For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water shall flow from the inmost being of anyone who believes in me.
- John 7:38 (TLB)
I love natural running water.
My dream home would be on a property with a babbling brook or a small waterfall.
Whenever my family takes out our ATVs, if there's water nearby, you can always find me recording a few minutes of the rushing water.
When friends post vacation photos with videos of ocean waves crashing on the beach, I listen to the entire video.
There is just something about the sound of water that is so refreshing and relaxing; it soothes my soul.
In 2023 Anne Wilson released her song Living Water:
This goes out to every outcast
To the just-don't-quite-fit-in
Every runaway, runaway rebel
So ashamed of where you've been
This goes out to every searcher
Tryin' to fill that empty space
Well, your searchin' days are over now
Everything's about to change
Come on down to the Living Water
Waves of mercy rushin' over you
No more strangers, only sons and daughters
Come down to the Living Water and rise up new
Mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm
Have you heard about a man named Jеsus?
He's the way, the truth, thе life
Stretched out His arms on a rugged cross
And paid ever sinner's price
So when you're tired of all your runnin'
You don't have to run no more
You can leave it all behind you
Just believe and be reborn
Come on down to the Living Water
Waves of mercy rushin' over you
No more strangers, only sons and daughters
Come down to the Living Water and rise up new
Oh-oh, this is your invitation
Oh-oh, no more lost and alone
Oh-oh, this is your invitation
Hear your Father sayin', "Welcome home"
See that cross up on the steeple
Hear that sweet forgiveness song
Come and join the Jesus people
This is where we all belong
(Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, come on down to the Living Water (The Living Water)
Waves of mercy rushin' over you (Oh-oh)
No more strangers, only sons and daughters (Sons and daughters)
Come down to the Living Water and rise up new (And rise up new)
Come down to the Living Water and rise up new
The first time I heard it I was floored.
This is what Jesus was talking about!
When you believe in Him, waves of mercy wash away your sin.
Being baptized by submersion allows you to emerge from the water refreshed and renewed.
Who wouldn’t want that feeling?
Believe in Him and let the living water flow through you.
