After twelve hours of traveling through the desert the day before, fixing a blown radiator hose, and unpacking in the dark; I was ready to be restored. And God had the perfect remedy for me.
The next morning on a houseboat in the middle of Lake Powell, He was waiting for me. The monsoon clouds overhead caught the first rays of sunrise. Glorious! I awoke to this incredible scene with the words on my heart. “You are my beloved, with whom I am well pleased.” The God of creation uses the universe as His palette. And His paintbrush is light itself. He shares his masterpieces daily with us. The skies are new every moment and the nature reflects his handiwork.
New
In the same way He renews those who choose to listen to Him. Every morning He gives new strength to those who ask. New creativity to be like the creator. New love, new joy, new purpose are all there for the taking. What God asks is for us to come to him to be replenished.
Give
As we immerse ourselves in God’s love He gives us all we need in abundance to give to others. Like Lake Powell itself, the rains flood down to fill what has been given away. If no water is let out then the lake floods and causes tremendous damage all around. God overflows our lives with love so that it flows into those around us.
So jump in. Renew your life moment by moment in God’s presence. Let His love fill you up so that you can fill others up in a dry land.
