Oct 07.99: Light For The Day - "Bread & Water Of Eternity."

"Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life;
he who comes to me shall not hunger,
and he who believes in me shall never thirst."
-- John 6:35 (RSV)

----------------------

You, LORD, are the bread of life and the well
of holiness. Just as You feed me day by day
with the food that sustains my body, keeping
me alive on earth, I pray that you will feed my
soul with the spiritual bread of eternity, making
me ready for heaven.

Just as you satisfy my bodily thirst with cool
water from the rivers and streams, I pray that
You will pour the water of holiness into my
soul, making my every word and action
a joyful sign of Your love.

-- Richard Baxter.

"but whoever drinks of the water that I shall
give him will never thirst; the water that I
shall give him will become in him a spring
of water welling up to eternal life."
-- John 4:14 (RSV)

--------------------------

He who believes in me, as the scripture has
said, 'Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living
water.'"
-- John 7:38 (RSV)
