Be a Fountain

At age five Danny was introduced to a fountain when we were attending a convention in Dallas, Texas.  Inside the convention center, It didn't take long for boredom to set in so we eased outside where a big and inviting water fountain became the perfect playground [of sorts] for his little feet & hands.  He was having so much fun, I wanted to join him!

We are fountains!  There is a fountain within each person who belongs to Christ. Romans 5:5 says, "God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit."  His Spirit within Believers is an endless and bountiful source of love and compassion.  We have no right to withhold this love and compassion from others.  Surrendered to Christ, we cannot help but spill to overflowing ... much like a fountain.  I watched the splash of water at a bird bath recently, and the water by its very nature was refreshing to the bird.  We have the potential to be that splash of joy, that nature of Jesus Christ that refreshes others.  Our splashes of joy can easily be showers of blessing to that friend, co-worker, stranger that needs a Touch of Christ. Look around today. Consider yourself a fountain, and splash a few folks today!
