Shower Blog 4

The greatest is love.

I can't afford to forget the basics.

I am a river. A constant flowing in, a constant pouring out. Just like when you're draining water using a hose, it's the water the flows out that causes a draw/demand on the water source to replace what was lost. Relationship, finances, stewardship, teaching, the prophetic, gifts, etc. Stewardship is just the label for the effect of how a river is supposed to work.

Up to this point i haven't really lived with this reality, I've been bottling some things up, creating a dead, rotting pond, instead of a life-giving river (John 7:38).

It's also interesting how, when rivers are moving, they erode the ground that carries the water, and it gradually gets deeper and deeper, becoming more and more capable to move more water.
