WATER

    Have you ever been in a flash flood?  The water is filthy.  It's full of creatures and debris.  There is clean water and filthy water.  2 Peter 2.  Look at the water Jesus promises:  John 4:10, 7:38; Ephesians 5:26; Hebrews 10:22;  Revelation 7:17, 21:6.  Pure, clean water.
    The flash flood is exactly that, a flood, and it is a force that sweeps away anything in its path.  Have you heard of Noah's ark?  Kids hear it in sunday school.  It took Noah and family about 100 years to build it to God's specifications.  It had ample room for everyone in town.  They all had an invitation to come, but they mocked Noah--laughed at the idea that there would be an end of life the way they knew it.  They laughed when they heard the promise to save them all.  Still, the world mocks.  One day, the door was closed and the invitations were no longer sent.  The promise of a great flood would soon be fulfilled.
     All aboard who's going aboard!  God is calling.  His heart of love has more than enough love for all.  Remember the flash flood of dirty muddy water?  It came!
     Jesus is that ship sent just for us.  Beautiful clean water to be washed clean in.  His invitations still go out.  Our 2,000 years and counting.  What patience!  Think on the word SAFE.  I am the way, the truth and the life.  Yes, the way is narrow and hard, but it is the safest place on earth.  Love Jesus.

In His love, a work in progress
