When things go wrong, He'll make it right.
And the God of the good times is still God in the bad times,
The God of the day, is still God of the night...
"The God of the day, is still God of the night."
Voices echoed through the small sanctuary, bouncing across the light shafts filtering through the open windows. The congregation stood spontaneously to sing this declaration of faith. Many hands lifted as an offering of praise.
To the right of the altar, piles of bags filled with clothing shared the space with multiple boxes of food gathered for a local homeless shelter. It was impossible to sing the song of God's faithfulness without thoughts of these hurting, destitute people wandering through our minds.
Tonight was the night we would deliver the abundant blessings to the shelter.
I thought about the love of God - how it flows through His children, how His love is like a current on which His Spirit rides.
Wandering thoughts of these precious people flowed on the current of His love.
Sacrificial giving of clothes and food flowed on the current of His love.
Spending an evening with the homeless offering hugs, breaking bread, sharing Jesus ALL flowed on the current of His love.
"But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him
a fountain of water springing up
into everlasting life." ~ John 4:14
What an honor it is to allow our fountain of Living Water to overflow into the lives of others! The current of His love cascades over and through the broken pieces of lives bringing hope and restoration. The current of His love refreshes, encourages, and quenches the fiercest of thirsts.
We are the channel through which God's current of love flows. Are we willing?
