Well-Spring

Posted on by Marla

 

Why are you weeping little one…
When joy should fill your soul…
Why are you seeking for something that has gone…
Lift up your face and see the Son…
Open your heart to see the dawn…
Your next adventure is on the horizon…
Time does not stand still
Like the mighty river it goes on and on…
Pouring new life and new birth along its path
Never stagnant, never just sitting still
Good morning trees, good morning flowers
Waving as it passes by…
You are passing by this way not meant to ever stay…
But while you’re here you are to live, to give, to laugh and play
You’re to sing and to dance and lend a hand to others passing by this way…
The river never sleeps, it never stops, it rushes over mountains and through valleys
It flows past lands and over rocks…giving life and substance, flowing over life’s hard knocks…the river is brave and strong and alive…
It rises above turmoil, runs towards its challenges and even moves mountains that stand in its path…it has no cares, no wants, no burdens, it keeps going no matter what…
You are a river, born from the Well-Spring…
Keep moving…steadily downstream…so all who drink from your waters will never be thirsty again…
The river of life is flowing…

John 7:37-39 New Living Translation (NLT) Jesus Promises Living Water
On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’” (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)
Zechariah 14:7-9 New International Version (NIV)
It will be a unique day—a day known only to the Lord—with no distinction between day and night. When evening comes, there will be light.
On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter.
The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.

I love the Lord Jesus Christ and am passionate about writing. I hope you enjoy the blog and come to visit often. Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2: 2-4
