“Good things as well as bad, you know, are caught by a kind of infection. If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose, just hand out to anyone.” (from Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis)
And so it is with God’s promises. How can I count on the promise of being like a well-watered garden (Jer. 31:12) if I am disconnected from the source of Living Water (John 4:10, 14)?
How can I be transformed into the image of Christ if I don’t place myself in the hands of the one who can mold and shape me?
Let’s drink of the Living Water. Let’s turn our lives over to the hands of He who transforms.
