Write down these words, one per line:
Anger
Rude
Love
Hate
Joy
Peace
Fear

Now read:
John 7:38
³⁸ “Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”

Finally, add to your list:
Death

—

When was the last time you felt anger?
Who were you last rude to?
When did you last make a conscious effort to show love to someone?
On a scale of ten, how much hate do you have in your life?
When did you last feel joy?
On a scale of ten, how much peace do you have in your life?
What do you fear the most?

How much of your life do you spend feeling dead?

Reflect on your answers. Can you see evidence of “streams of living water” flowing from within you? What does your answer mean for you and what course of action should you take to improve – whether improving from not having much living water or simply striving to get even better?

Which word’s response gives you the most anxiety? Strive to let His living water in the days ahead. Trust in His ability to see you through your most angry, fearful, and hate-ridden moments, while giving Him due credit for the joy, love, and peace-filled times. Let His life replace the dead, empty life that this world has for us.

Go with Christ, and let living water flow from you!
