9.12.23 - John 7:38a
The move from belief to living is one of habit and ritual. It's about practice. What is the practice of compassion or justice you want to try today?
“And let the one who believes in me drink”
The gesture of giving a gift is a wonderful thing that enriches relationships.
But the value of a gift is truly known when the recipient puts the gift into meaningful use in their life.
As Jesus invites all to come to him to ‘drink’ his sustaining love, he recognizes that the onus still remains on people to actively respond in belief, to drink his water of life.
Many believers struggle to cross the gap of believing, knowing God’s gift, to living out of that gift and letting it nourish us each day.
How can you find ways to actively drink from the well of Christ’s loving presence today?
