Yesterday Christopher and I did a project for homeschool with some friends. We are studying weather so we decided to make a storm in a bottle. It looks like a tornado if you do it rite, but we won't go there. Let's put it this way, I have a 2 liter of nice green soap now haha.. I had to use a 2 liter bottle. Well we don't drink out of two liters at our house so I had to go buy one and empty it because I needed just the empty bottle. All I needed was the container. I poured the contents out into another container so we didn't waste anything and we had an empty container that we could use.
Having just had a conversation about how God is more interested on us cleaning out the inside of us than the outside God began to show me something I found interesting, I only needed the container for my project, the shell of what held the original contents. God only needs our container, the shell of who we are so he can fill us up. Think about it if his Living water is forever flowing but has nowhere to land we cant catch it. It's like if someone asked you for a drink but there cup was filled with concrete and the water just flowed all over the floor there would be nowhere to catch it and no way to get it into their body for refreshment and enjoyment.
However if we look into our life and try to empty the filth out of our life ,the jealousy, anger resentment, fear,and sins we carry. And give them to God,whom they belong to anyway, He can use our emptied container. He can fill us up with "His Living Water" The Holy Spirit.
God says his Living Water flows eternally it has no beginning and it has no end. It will land somewhere.....
Will you be one to catch it???
