Just me trying to be honest with God.

I have never met a person who was not drawn to water.

“ And the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory. Ezek.43 ESV

People are drawn to water, vast oceans, still lakes, gentle streams or cascading falls. We hike miles to see a waterfall; we build our homes next to the ocean or a lake. People will live next to the water even if they have to put up with hurricanes or floods. I wonder if something about water reminds us of God. The Bible tells us that His voice and the sound of His coming is like many waters. It seems that God put something of Himself into this life liquid, even if only as an illustration that He is life. There can be no life without Him, His presence can gently nourish or powerfully destroy. He carves and shapes all He passes. He is life to parched ground and quenches the thirst of famished souls. And perhaps the most astounding of all, water is three in one—solid, liquid and gas. God too is Three in One, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 8/1/2011 Conversations Within ts (Zion National Park)
