God is Love.

"Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east); and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar. Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me round on the outside to the outer gate, that faces toward the east; and the water was coming out on the south side. Going on eastward with a line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water; and it was ankle-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water; and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water; and it was up to the loins. Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen; it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. And he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this?" Then he led me back along the bank of the river. As I went back, I saw upon the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. And he said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah; and when it enters the stagnant waters of the sea, the water will become fresh. And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing."-Ezekiel 47:1-9,12

This bible verses revealed the flow of Gods love. The flow of water can be equated to the flow of mercy and love from Gods heart to the each human. Ezekiel was asked to to follow what the man said. As he followed the man, he observed the flow of water, each time he proceeded the water got deeper and deeper until Ezekiel was fully immersed in the love(water) from God. It was at this stage that the water enters the stagnant waters of the sea inturn making the sea water fresh.

Only by the immersion of Ourselves in the love of God, will make it overflow from us and enter the stagnant lives of our fellow beings, thus making their spirits fresh. We can find that by remaining in the banks of the river of Love from God, our spirits will never wither nor we will fail to bear fruit of the gospel. We will be successful in producing good fruits every time of our life "because the water for us flows from the sanctuary of God and the fruit will be for food, and their leaves (spirit) for healing"


Let us Pray,

 God we thank you for helping us reveal the extent and flow of Your Love from Your sanctuary to our lives and to the lives of others. Let us follow all that You ask from us and thus get filled and immersed in Your love so that it overflows to our brothers and sisters bearing fruits of spirit all of our life. In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit Amen,
