Water!!!
Everyone in the house
was calling out for a stable supply of water. We haven’t been getting
normal supply of water for the recent two weeks. I just wondered our neighbors
told us that they don’t have any problems regarding that. Well, I am pretty
sure that we pay our water bills regularly. We didn’t call the directory because
we were still patient and hoping that the next days the water will soon flow
smoothly through our water pipes. When we cannot tolerate the situation
anymore, we immediately phoned the water service directory to ask about such inconvenience.
Unexpectedly, they were not aware about the problem we have been enduring for
weeks; then they reported about installing the machine that enables to create
stronger water pressure in order to reach our area.
Well, the lesson we learned was to quickly alert
the water station about the problem so as to be able to fix the inconvenience
immediately.
It was pretty challenging during the days of
slight suffering about the water shortage. We cannot move much when there’s no
water. We cannot cook,bathe,wash clothes and everything. Thus, water is vital to
man’s everyday living for without it, he will not survive.
The water on earth is like the word of God. The
absence of it is totally nothing while its presence springs up life. Without
the word of God, life could be meaningless for man will be like a rolling stone
without any specific direction. Man may not be able to understand the mysteries
in life. He will be left confused and clueless about the circumstances in his
life. He won’t be able to understand why happiness and sadness exist, why there’s
suffering and healing, grief and joy. If all these things he doesn’t comprehend
mixed up in his mind, he might as well commit suicide for everything seems
pointless and insignificant to him.
But whoever drinks the water I give him will never
thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water
welling up to eternal life." John 4:14
