Taste The Refreshing Water

Taste The Refreshing Water

Once you've tasted and been refreshed 
By a drink of pure spring water 
Pouring out from the rocks in the mountains
No water will ever taste as good to you

Years ago while hiking in the mountains of Canada,
With my brother Mike and his wife Michelle
We stumbled across such a spring 
I can still taste it, ice cold and so refreshing

Many today are in doubt whether or not the savior has come
Whether Jesus truly was and is Messiah...
Or if there even is a true and living God

Let me propose to you; it was no different 
Back when Jesus was on earth...

 Let me also say 
He cared deeply then
And  
He cares deeply now 
He cares that so many are hurting 
And searching
Desperately to find a refreshing spring 
To drink from

Many in that day watched as Jesus loved them
He loved them 
By living with them in their homes
And
Giving them what they had need of
And
Teaching them a way to live that would cause them to love life

On one occasion 
Jesus stood and cried out

"If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink"
"He who believes in Me 
as the scripture has said
out of his heart will flow rivers of living water"
John 7:37-38 NKJ

Do you love life
Are you struggling
Has someone you loved passed on to eternity

 If so

 I want to tell you
Jesus wants to refresh you
He wants to take all that burdens you 
Off from your shoulders 
And 
Give you peace

 He says

 "Peace I give you
My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you
Not as the world gives do I give to you... 
Do not let your hearts be troubled
Neither let them be afraid
[Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed and do not
Permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]"
John 14:27 AMP 

Jesus didn't condemn then
And He won't 
Condemn you today...

He told the woman who was caught in adultery
That He didn't condemn her 
But also told her to go and sin no more
He knew she would have to leave the sin behind 
In order for her to be refreshed

 Take a deep breath...

 Drink of some cool spring water...

 "If anyone thirsts let hem come to Me and 

 DRINK"

He said
"...I am the light of the world
He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness
But have the light of life"
Come out of the dark places
Taste the refreshing water
His living water
Believe 
On the Lord Jesus
And 
You shall be saved

Amen? 

Amen!

Be blessed and set free,

 Terry

Psalm 29:11 AMP
The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

A Threatening Storm

Image
  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when w...

Light in the Darkness

Image
I grew up thinking holiness was reserved for priests and nuns. I see the danger of this thinking is that we conform more and more to the world because holiness is unattainable; or not even considered as a goal to be desired or even thought about. However the opposite is true in God's word. "..Be holy, for I am holy" First Peter 1:16. So I have to conclude it is possible. How do we become holy? Let's read what Peter had to say... beginning in   1Peter 1:13-16  "Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope freely upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lust, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be holy for I am holy."  I see the world getting darker and darker and yet the contrast between light (holiness) and darkness (the...

The Miracle and Gift

  The Miracle and Gift Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time... Bethlehem Joseph and Mary Shepherds Angels and more angels Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place. Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census, Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets. Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field  Shepherds hastened off to see Let's hear Luke's account... "An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a   concert began ! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.  Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of...
