River of Living Water be streams in my life.

 River of Living Water, Be a Stream in My Life

A Reflection on John 7:38 and Ezekiel 47:1-9

River of living water, be a stream in my life—

Not a stagnant pool, not a trickle of relief,

But a flowing, living current that cuts through every grief.

Let it rise from the throne of God, from the heart of the Lamb,

And water every desert place in my inner land.

Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them. (John 7:38)

Be a stream in my thoughts—wash away the muddy lie,

The anxious whispers, the accusing cry.

Let the clear, cool water of Your truth run deep and wide,

Bringing peace to every corner where fear and doubt would hide.

Be a stream in my heart—melt the frost of old regret,

Break the hardened soil, let the seeds of grace be set.

Where bitterness has dammed the flow, let Your current break on through,

Turning every wounded place into a garden fresh and new.

He brought me back to the door of the temple, and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold. (Ezekiel 47:1)

Let the stream deepen as I wade in further still—

From ankle‑deep to knee, to waist, until my own will

Is swallowed in the flood, and I can no longer stand,

But swim in the fullness of Your love, carried by Your hand.

Where the river flows, life abounds—trees of healing on the shore,

Every month they bear fresh fruit, and their leaves are evermore

For the healing of the nations, for the restoration of the soul.

River of living water, be a stream in me—make me whole.

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. (Revelation 22:1)

Flow, living water. Flow through every part of me.

Stream of life, stream of grace, stream of eternity.

Amen.
