Revelation 21:5-8   The Message

^3-5 I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: “Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They’re his people, he’s their God. He’ll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone.” The Enthroned continued, “Look! I’m making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate.”
^6-8 Then he said, “It’s happened. I’m A to Z. I’m the Beginning, I’m the Conclusion. From Water-of-Life Well I give freely to the thirsty. Conquerors inherit all this. I’ll be God to them, they’ll be sons and daughters to me. But for the rest—the feckless and faithless, degenerates and murderers, sex peddlers and sorcerers, idolaters and all liars—for them it’s Lake Fire and Brimstone. Second death!”

For Reflection

As a deer thirsts for water our souls thirst.  Our souls want because God is not finished giving.  Yet the feckless and faithless seek to satisfy the soul by filling it with materialism, the stuff of the common place, worldly values.

God feeds the soul with God-centered wisdom.  God feeds the soul with a want for justice.  God feeds the soul with a want  of compassion.  God feeds the soul with a want for forgiveness.  God feeds the soul with a want to forgive.  God feeds the soul with a want for humility.  God gave us Jesus to fill the want of our soul.

Pray

to fill your soul with God centered joy and love of the Way of Christ.
