Welcome to the gentler pace of summer.\u00a0 Have you made your plans to enjoy the water this season?\u00a0 There\u2019s just something about the water!\u00a0 The sheer beauty of it all can render me speechless.\u00a0 The experience of growing up on the shores of Lake Michigan instilled in me a hardwired need to connect with water – the connection forged brings a deep sense of peace, renewal and fulfillment.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always felt God\u2019s presence most profoundly in, on or near the water which makes it the perfect place to hang out with Him.\u00a0 The summer months mean my regular prayer chair will often be replaced by my beach chair.\u00a0 I took these photos as a reminder that my chair can be anywhere.<\/p>\n

In John 4:14, Jesus says, \u201cWhoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up.\u201d<\/em> And here\u2019s the best part of all \u2013 it\u2019s FREE.\u00a0 \u201cLet them take the free gift of the water of life.\u201d<\/em> Revelation 22:17.<\/p>\n

Consider this:\u00a0 You are a cup of water.\u00a0 You expend a little water in all of your giving, living, serving, relating, working and loving.\u00a0 Your water level goes down until you are eventually depleted.\u00a0 This world can flat out drain you of all you\u2019ve got.\u00a0 Where do you turn when you are running on E.M.P.T.Y.?\u00a0 When you are parched – pulling up a chair to hang out with God is like pulling up to a giant, icy drinking fountain on a sun scorched day.\u00a0 Make it a Son soaked day and BE FILLED with an UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF LIVING WATER.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been given a promise – if you drink of the Living Water your spirit will never thirst.\u00a0 You will be continuously filled up and your cup will never run dry. Imagine always living, giving, serving, relating, working and loving from A PLACE OF FULLNESS\u2026<\/p>\n

Have you made your plans to enjoy the Living Water this summer?\u00a0 There\u2019s just something about the Living Water!\u00a0 Be replenished.\u00a0 Be cleansed.\u00a0 Be refreshed.<\/p>\n

When you run dry this summer, rest by the shore to restore and crank up \u201cCalling for a Flood<\/em>\u201d by John Waller\u2026<\/p>\n
