I step off the white porch, barefoot.
My feet imprinting grass stocks of green. Eyes looking at floral creation. Colours that please.
In need of rain. A soaking.
And I can't stop thinking as I look upon the cracks in soil, this earth open for reviving... that life can sometimes feel dry.
Depleted. Desperate for hydration. Newness.
The waiting...
Our cracked hearts opened wide for a heavenly outpouring. Renewing.
Life flowing showers of His rain. Nourishing. Waters.
As you still. In wonder. Of when.
Oh weary heart, do not give up hope.
Rain comes after summer heat. And sunshine after rain.
The cycle for change. Growth. Life.
Reside in His word.
His breathe over creation.
Over you. Over me.
So keep that heart open with anticipation.
He is faithful to water your land and your heart... a life saturated and abundant in Him!
Since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
(Hebrews 10:21-23)
Does life ever feel dry to you?
Lovely words, lovely images. I'm always so amazed at the water pictures in God's word--so full, so abundant; never just a trickle. Thanks for the reminder to wait for living water, to ask for it.

ReplyDeleteLove that...So needed to hear it today!
Have a wonderful Tuesday, Manda <333
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA closed heart does feel dry and empty. We were actually going through a mini drought here in south Alabama....but God's timing is just right. As with the world, our hearts can dry up too, with the need to water daily, with prayer and His word. Thanking HIm for my many blessings is water to my heart and soul.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said!
ReplyDeleteI have been so thirsty and feeling so dry as of lately. It seems as if God has left the building and this post was like an oasis in the desert giving me hope. Thank you Manda.
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful Manda - and so true - he IS faithful to water our land and our hearts..
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this post.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think of Hos 10.12...
Sow for yourselves righteousness,
reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground;
for it is time to seek the LORD,
until he comes
and showers righteousness on you.
so beautiful. these words are soaked with love. ;)
