I just remembered how a hopeless case I was.I had a rotten life.Not because I was given rotten situations everyday.I was actually given fresh bites of life which I chose to ignore and leave behind.I fed on junk,whatever satisfies my hunger,whatever fills the spaces in my life.At first I was contented with tidbits but eventually I devoured these things ,worse, I wanted more.Not knowing and caring about the consequences in the future,I kept on feeding on them until I went full that I can hardly get up on my feet.All I cared about was ME and NOW.I’m speaking figuratively,but this is how sick I was back then.
I was hesitant on drinking the water.Why?Because I didn’t know how to drink it.I was afraid of it.Who needs water when you’re already full?I was so full that my body no longer had any space available for the water.It was overwhelming,in a bad way.
Until the day came that I experienced what it felt like to be slowly killed by the garbage inside me.My flesh and soul,the entirety of me,were slowly eaten away.The intensity of the pain increased as regrets and doubts arose.It felt like,”killing the dead”.Making sure nothing was left but misery,guilt and desperation.
I knew the cure,waaaaay before this lifestyle started.But I only had the courage to recognize the cure when I had nowhere to go.No drug can heal.I just needed everything to be flushed out,by nothing else but the water.
That was my turning point and I’m pretty sure everyone has that or eventually will be in a similar situation. The water didn’t cure me until I allowed it to do so.It didn’t just wash away the chief culprit for my disease,the water resided in me,equipped me with the ability to discern what’s junk from not.Eventhough I still occassionally fail at present,I am thankful for this water that never runs dry.The water that cleanses me each day.Way better than detox.Hah!
The water is free for everyone,but it will only flow within us if we allow it,if we drink it.I’m pertaining to the One and Only Living Water,Jesus Christ.I was dead,but this water gave me life and like a clean slate,I was given the chance to restart my life.To quote Max Lucado,”What H2O can do for your body,Jesus can do for your heart”.
