For the water to flow there has to come a breaking. Moses struck the rock for
the children of Israel to have water. Jesus side was pierced with a spear, and
both blood and water issued forth. For the child to be born, the waters in the
womb have to break.
A person who has been broken, chastened and disciplined,
by the Lord is someone He can use. The person who has had nail prints in their
hands, and experienced the cross in their lives, who has suffered as part of His
sufferings, is pliable and compassionate in a way that others are not. This kind
of person easily forgives, because they know in their hearts that they also have
been forgiven much. They reach out with a hand of friendship and understanding,
giving kindness to others. Because they know Him who has loved them beyond
knowing.
This kind of person does not seek gain for themselves, they do not
quickly judge another, they do not always want the best seat, the best clothes,
the recognition of others. Instead they bless, and seek the promotion of those
around them and delight when others are blessed.
This person has suffered
setbacks, disillusionment, disappointment, discouragement until they have been
bled dry of it all. Yet still something within them keeps going. Something
within them issues forth life. Death works in them that life might come forth in
others. This is a spiritual principle hard to understand. Pure waters come forth
from their innermost being. They are like Jesus.
'For we which live are
always delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus might be
made manifest in our mortal flesh. So that death worketh in us, but life in you'
Rom 7:11,12
'Be Still'
'Be Still And Know That He is God'
Symbolism: The Dove is the Holy Spirit. The shadow of wings is the covering of His love. The seat is a place waiting for you to occupy it. The Lily in the pool is the purity of Jesus.The trees are the 'Mighty One's' who watch over you.
YOU ARE INVITED TO ENTER IN!
There is a place, a tranquil, still place right in God's heart. He invites you to come and sit awhile and meditate, listening for His still small voice. Over you are the wings of God, shadowing and covering your life as you sit on the seat prepared for you. The world around is full of trauma and confusion, but in the midst of it all you can find Him and gaze awhile on His beauty and experience His peace.
