Gospel Reflections #430: God's living water overflows.

John 7:38 “Whoever believes in Me, as it is written in the Scriptures, out of him shall flow rivers of living water."

Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the Holy Spirit can be the One who gives us awareness.

And the Holy Spirit works in the hearts of those who believe in Jesus. The Holy Spirit causes our thoughts to be aware of things and leads us to realize them. And not only that, the Holy Spirit leads our hearts to maturity and gives us a chance to want to share it with those around us, and He enables us to do so. God will provide us with someone to whom we can give His water. And those who are given will give to someone else.

In this way, God's living water overflows.

We only receive what God gives us first. It is God who creates the river of our hearts, and we just have to go with the flow.

This verse also says, "He who believes in Me. Not "he who acts like me," but "he who believes in Jesus." And those who do will be made to act like Jesus.

We only need to taste the "living water" that we receive from God and have our hearts filled with the "water that God gives us. After that, God will give us the opportunity to let the "water we receive from God" flow when we need it.

Until then, let us enjoy the "delicious water from God" to the fullest.
