Not a Reservoir but a Spring

[stephen]

Christ is not a reservoir but a spring. His life is continual, active and ever passing on with an outflow as necessary as its inflow. If we do not perpetually draw the fresh supply from the living Fountain, we shall either grow stagnant or empty. It is, therefore, not so much a perpetual fullness as a perpetual filling.

Excellent post Stephen, may all of us employ this truth into our daily lives.
I really like A.B. Simpson's teachings, very Christ centered.


I agree with Stephen, it is good to see you back on the forum Coconut. You really are a blessing and missed very much when your away.

Awesome post, so true! We drink from that spring and we never thirst again.
