"Jesus said, 'Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." -John 7:38
While in Switzerland before she had decided to become a missionary in Algiers Lilias Trotter wrote in her journal concerning "rivers of living water": The milky-looking glacier torrent spoke with God's voice this morning--so obedient to its course in the narrow bed, yet just tossing with freedom and swing in every motion. Such a picture of the 'rivers of living water'--bound and yet unbound."
When God is asking us directly or through circumstances to change the course of our lives we may feel hemmed in. But like a free-flowing stream bound by the lay of the land, we are only constrained within the bounds of God's love.
I am grateful that God provides boundaries for me that make me feel safe and secure within His Love.
