The Waters of Zion

In the spring, when the waterfalls flow off the red sandstone cliffs, Zion becomes a Yosemite in technicolor. This is desert country. Water brings life to this other wise harsh environment. Like air, water is vital for our survival. We also live in a challenging emotional environment of hurts and disappointments. Where do we find the living water for our spiritual survival--or do we care to look, or give up our search once it seems too overwhelming?

Replenishing at the Source

We intuitively know that kindness and love, toward others and ourselves, is the key to spiritual and emotional well being. Yet people--spouses, family, friends, the "world" -- are so demanding and draining. God, however, is infinite and eternal. His love is a well, a spring, a river that never runs dry. As Christ tells us, when we drink of His waters, we are never thirsty. "Come, let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life." Revelation 22:17. Drink FREELY. What a wonderful invitation, fulfilling what was written so long ago in Isaiah 55.
