Believe you are a drop of living water afloat in a loving sea. Now ask yourself; where to direct the stream?

Positive Power Card; Imagine you are a drop of water afloat in a loving sea. Now ask yourself; where are the boundaries?

- written by James W. Foley

Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it is gone;
But there’s half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing on out to the sea.
And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be.

Drop a pebble in the water: in a minute you forget,
But there’s little waves a-flowing, and there’s ripples circling yet,
And those little waves a-flowing to a great big wave have grown;
You’ve disturbed a mighty river just by dropping in a stone.

Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute it is gone;
But there’s half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on.
They keep spreading, spreading, spreading from the center as they go,
And there is no way to stop them, once you’ve started them to flow.


Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute you forget;
But there’s little waves a-flowing, and there’s ripples circling yet,
And perhaps in some sad heart a mighty wave of tears you’ve stirred,
And disturbed a life was happy ere you dropped that unkind word.


Drop a word of cheer and kindness: just a flash and it is gone;
But there’s half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,
Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, dashing wave
Till you wouldnt’t believe the volume of the one kind word you gave.


Drop a word of cheer and kindness: in a minute you forget;
But there’s gladness still a-swelling, and there’s joy acircling yet,
And you’ve rolled a wave of comfort whose sweet music can be heard
Over miles and miles of water just by dropping one kind word.


It's easy then to image myself being a pebble, me speaking kind words, me spreading happiness, me spreading the Good News, me doing the good deeds as James describes above.
But is that what GOD has planned for me? Did GOD not tell us to seek Him first above all things? Mat 6:33 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

On the last day of the feast of tarbenacles, Jesus invites the crowd to seek the LORD by reference to the living water; the living water then being non other that the Holy Spirt within Believers leading to the "thirst" for a persons deepest spiritual longing to know GOD personally.

Joh 4:13-14 GW (13) Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again. (14) But those who drink the water that I will give them will never become thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give them will become in them a spring that gushes up to eternal life."
Joh 7:38-39 GW (38) As Scripture says, 'Streams of living water will flow from deep within the person who believes in me.'" (39) Jesus said this about the Spirit, whom his believers would receive. The Spirit was not yet evident, as it would be after Jesus had been glorified.

It is surprising when I start my investigations into these daily Power Cards. There's just nothing; and then soon within minutes I am enlightened as into the contect of my translation. Re-wording and finalizing the Spiritual content then does does take some time, and even longer the final description Spiritual Card wording i.e for today then; Believe you are a drop of living water afloat in a loving sea. Now ask yourself; where to direct the stream?

Ever had that feeling looking at documents you have drafted a while ago, relooked at with disbelieve as to if it was you that have written it? I have relooked what I have done the last 2 weeks and then wondered; was it me?
No wonder then, now as a Believer, I can say; its the working of the Holy Spirit in me!

So, why not;

Drink a drop of living water: just a yes and its done;
And then there will be never ending ripples circling on and on and on,
Bearing grace and mercy and peace on each splashing, dashing wave
Each waive then forming the spring that gushes up to eternal life.


Drink a drop of living water: every minute of a day;
leading to obedience still a-swelling, and love acircling always,
Thereby rolling a wave of Holy Spirit whose sweet music can be heard
Throughout His Kingdom just by dropping words of faith.

Lord, I thank you for your grace and I pray for a flow of Living Water in us, every day, every hour, every minute. I thank you LORD, for your never ending perfect love.

BLESS YOU
