2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
"Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living
water will flow from within him." [ John 7:38]
When animals come down to a river to drink they have no concept of
where the water is coming from or where it's going. God is the source of
living water. When our lives become this water, we can roll down the mountain
and touch the lives of many. We may weaken and become a mere trickle, or
we can grow and become mighty, washing away anything that gets in our way.
Rivers don't care about obstacles. They go around, through, rolling—never
stopping. God uses our lives to touch others. They, in turn, touch more lives.
We'll never know how many lives we've touched.
OZ (Oswald Chambers) says:
A river touches places of which its source knows nothing, and Jesus
says if we have received of His fullness, however small the visible measure of our lives, out of us will flow the rivers that will bless to the uttermost parts of the earth. We have nothing to do with the outflow—"This is the work of God that ye believe..." God rarely allows a soul to see how great a blessing he is.
Just between you & God:
Don't get wrapped up in who and where.
Ask God to keep you moving in and around. Ask for the strength to keep going
when you're weary. Ask for the patience to reach everywhere you need to go.

7. POTENT QUOTABLES
"Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired."
- Mother Teresa
"There have been meetings of only a moment which have left impressions for life ...for eternity. No one can understand that mysterious thing we call 'influence' ...yet everyone of us continually exerts influence, either to heal, to bless, to leave marks of beauty; or to wound, to hurt, to poison, to stain other lives."
- J.B. Miller
