Dig out the dirt in your life and let the Spirit fill your life.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Every summer, the spring rains fill the pond on our Maryland farm with a lot of mud, and it needed to be cleaned out. The neat thing is, the more earth we dug out of that pond, the bigger and deeper it would become. That’s because it was fed by an underground spring – the more dirt we got rid of, the more the pond would fill with water. We could actually make the pond whatever size we wanted. And you know what? We are very much like that. Jesus said in John 7, “Whoever believes in me…streams of living water will flow from within him.” Yep, we’ve got a spring of living water filling us, but sometimes there’s not a lot to fill. We’ve made the size of our spiritual life [our pond, as it were] so small from so much dirt and disobedience. So, today friend, dig out the dirt in your life that doesn’t belong. And just watch the Spirit fill your life!
