As the Lord says “Whosoever believeth in Me, out of his belly shall flow streams of living water.”

And again: “Whosoever shall drink of the water which I give, he shall never thirst, and there shall be in him a spring of living water unto everlasting life.”

Here is a question: is the spring aware of itself? Why is Jesus concerned most about what flows out?

We focus on what comes in. We will take a big bucket of living water. But Jesus talks of a spring in us that flows out.

It is the nature of water to flow. From high to low. From under to up. From here to there. John’s letter makes it clear. If it doesn’t flow, it’s no go. If the love of God does not flow out of us, it’s not real.

Again, it is the nature of God’s love to flow out to others. If we say we enjoy the love of God for us, we must make way for that love to flow to others. If not, it will dry up.

James says, we don’t have wisdom because we don’t ask. Wisdom is what to do. In the moment. Jesus always knew what to do in every situation. He had wisdom and acted on that to meet every situation he was in.

Ask and you will receive.
