John 4:14 KJV
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Happy Thursday Ladies!!!!
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Life, like lemonade, is a splendid blend of bitter and sweet components. Life isn't always bitter like lemons; it isn't always sweet like sugar. But, bitter and sweet experiences color our lives. Dearest darling sisters, allow the living water of Jesus, that bubbles up from your souls, transform the bitters and sweets of your life into something delectable like lemonade.
Our present bitters and sweets pale in comparison to the glorious joys of eternity with Christ. But, the Lord works ALL things together for good. Nothing is lost or wasted in the Kingdom of God. Just as sour milk is transformed into yogurt and molded cheese into another variation and specialty, NOTHING is lost as God daily molds us, like clay, into His unique handiwork.
Like the Samaritan woman that met Jesus at the well, let's choose God's life-transforming, living water instead of the temporal water and things of the here and now (John 4:13-14). The Samaritan woman was such a lady that had a life full of bitters. But, Christ did not turn her away. The Lord forgave and welcomed her into his kingdom.
By way of allowing Christ to transform her bitter into sweet, the Samaritan woman went on to enjoy the fountain of the life, the well of water springing up into eternal life. And, she went on to share with others, Christ's living water that allows one and all to make lemonade from lemons. Many Samaritans were later converted after hearing the woman's testimony. It's amazing how our lives and the lives of many others can be transformed when we choose to embrace God...His living water....and, the sweet and lovely.
Dearest sisters, embrace the sweet and lovely. Learn and grow from the bitter. The bitter plus the sweet can afford you many bittersweets that make life all the more lovely. Embrace the lovely dear ones. Embrace the lovely EVERY day!
You are strong. beautiful. brave.
Grief is not forever; love is!
Love and blessings
Hugs
