Here’s your gift, Paul: a cup of living water
Don’t try to understand or dissect it, just have a taste and see. Those who poured it don’t know if you will even choose to drink it, but they poured it for you anyway.
I didn’t ask anyone to encourage you, only to pray for you and make their selfless act known in public. So many of their selfless acts are hidden, though, that they would receive no glory, that their own ego would be starved and subdued in their loving service. Some of them just couldn’t seem to help themselves, though, encouraging you, a stranger, personally as well. It's almost like they’re overflowing and don’t care if some of it splashes around.
Other interactions naturally sprung from this senseless, pointless act and long-lost friends are being reconnected, old fellowships are being restored, new ideas to bless others are emerging spontaneously. This water, with prayer and guidance, produces life more abundantly than any of the comforting lies or deceptions we’re accustomed to.
It’s like Brawndo …only real.
This was not intended to be an appeal to you on any basis of reason. It is but a glimpse, a taste.
I do pray that this is a CHRISTmas like no other for you, and I’m absolutely ready, whenever you are, to proceed.
Take all the time you need.
