This is my first attempt at painting water rings and droplets.
Water is critical for life. Here are a few quick stats I found.
55% to 75% of the body is made of water.
Water is a shock absorber for the brain, spinal column, and unborn baby in the womb.
Water flushes waste out of us.
Water enables growth to occur at the cellular level.
It is estimated that 71% of the earth's surface is covered with water.
It is estimated that 96% of the earth's water supply is in the oceans.
Water is the fundamental component of every living creature.
Water gives life.
Water sustains life.
Without water we die with in days.
Spiritually we need life giving water, too. It only makes sense that the One who created heaven and earth would be the One who will give living water.
Jesus once said, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Does anyone believe in me? Then, just as Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from inside them.” (John 7:37-38)
We can have "rivers of living water flow from us" when we believe in the One who is the River of Life.
Life giving water that quenches our thirst.
I was trying to convey in this image how the life giving water has a ripple affect even if it is in just one little drop.
I have to giggle because I just realized as I look at the image the water of life is smiling back at me.
Father, Thank You for the gift of water and it's life sustaining power. Thank You for Your Son who gives living water that quenches our thirst. Help us to believe in Your life giving water and to give it freely. Let the ripple affect of Your sustenance bring life to all who receive it. In Jesus' name, amen.
