When I was at the shore, I looked at the water
I realized how much we are like water
We should be I guess, we are largely composed of water
Like water:
We seek our own level
We are shallow around the edges and deep in the center (when you get to know us)
We have cold spots
We carry some and drag others down
We are basically clam with an occasional ripple
We like to make a big splash
When it shines we sparkle
When it is dark we are muddy
We can be used in several ways to better things
We are a comfort to the aching
I’d rather adapt (like water) than to force others to do it my way
Sometimes we boil
Sometimes we are ice
We can be used to help others clean up their act
We naturally flow one way in less channeled another
Some water is purer than others, but all can be cleaned up
Sometimes we are in a fall
Sometimes we flood, drip, are soaked up, trapped or contained
I guess we are “Living Water”
