The Dam

The Christian life is like a dam where the water is God’s love and the wall is are own sin, fears, failures and general hindrances we allow to get in the way of pouring out of God’s love on the barren land in desperate need of the living water. When Gods love initially touches the dam it begins to weaken Unfortunately we tend to immediately work to fix and repair it causing us to be more destructive to ourselves than anyone else but if we allow the cracks to remain and His great love to seep through sharing it with the great barren land it will continue to break down the dam causing more and more of His love to flow through us to the wasteland turning it from a barren land to a fruitful land. The hardest part is not repairing the dam and allowing ourselves to become stagnant once more. This came to mind tonight so i thought I would share it, its not an overnight change to run the race it takes time and effort on our part and if we forget it we will end up destroying ourselves in the name of bettering ourselves.
