John 4:13-14 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
It has been said that there are two types of people in this world, those who are fountains and those who are drains. I have also heard it said there are those who give life and those who take it away. As a follower of Christ I am to be a fountain or in the case of the verses above a spring of water and because of Christ I am. However flow of my fountain or spring is directly effected by whether or not something is obstructing the flow. I am to be a fountain through which Jesus can flow as "rivers of living water" in blessing to everyone. Yet sometimes I am like a drain in that I am always receiving and never giving, because my relationship with Jesus is not right. I need to ask, "Is there anything between me and Jesus?" "Is there anything that is obstructing the flow of Christ in my life?" If I truly want to be a fountain of blessing and not a drain than I must keep careful guard not to allow obstructions to hinder the flow of Christ in my life. Today I want to be a fountain of blessing in others lives may I with my whole heart seek after Christ today and avoid the obstructions that hinder that flow.
Father oh how I need you every hour, show me if there is anything that is obstructing the flow of Christ in my life.
