Healing of the Waters

to the world that the redeeming power of grace can change a faulty
character to one that is well-developed and fruitful.
The heart that receives the word of God is not like a broken
water bottle that loses it treasure; it is like the mountain stream,
fed by unfailing springs, whose sparkling waters refresh the weary,
the thirsty, the heavily-burdened. It is like a river that constantly
flows and, as it advances, becomes deeper and wider, until its life-
giving waters spread over all the earth. The stream leaves its gift
of fruitfulness behind it. When the earth lies bare and brown under
summer’s scorching heat, a line of green marks the river’s course.
This is how it is with the true child of God. When we open our
hearts to the heavenly influence of truth and love, these principles
will flow out like streams in the desert, making things fruitful where
now they are barren and dry.
Those who have been cleansed through a knowledge of Bible
truth will drink every day from the inexhaustible fountain of grace
and knowledge. They will find that their own hearts are filled to over-

flowing with the Spirit of their Master; and through their unselfish
ministry many will benefit physically, mentally, and spiritually. The
weary are refreshed, the sick restored to health, and the sin-burdened
relieved.
“Give, and it will be given to you,” for the word of God is “a foun-
tain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.”
