Ezekiel 47:1-9. John 5:1-16

The Father pours His blessings of His waters on His world: so has it been from the beginning and shall be till the end of time. And in the streams and rivers, seas and oceans He has created life to feed and to sustain, to bring forth young and to glorify for man’s enjoyment.

So is water necessary for cleansing bodies and things used constantly in daily usage. It is precious, variously distributed on the earth’s surface: so all are called to care and restraint in the use of it. But in the cleansing of the heart and mind there needs must be no restraint: as sins are confessed so are they forgiven and washed away in the tide of the Father’s blessing.

The blessing of the Father’s love is poured on every child of man who seeks to live in love and in self-giving to Him and to His Kingdom in His world. Through My indwelling and the light and guiding of Our Holy Spirit eternal life is given and flows increasingly in them as they continue in our saving, sanctifying love.
