"Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said,
'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'"
'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'"
John 7:38
ESV
My attention caught by... living water...
Seeking other sources of living water in my Logos... I found...
You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace. How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much better is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your oils than any spice!
Your lips drip nectar, my bride...
A garden locked is my sister, my bride, a spring locked, a fountain sealed.
...a garden fountain, a well of living water,
and flowing streams from Lebanon.
Song of Solomon 4:9-15
ESV
(emphasis mine)
The Bride... a garden locked... a fountain sealed... a well of living water... unlocked by the love of the King... whoever believes in Him, as the Scripture has said, 'Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." To love the King... is to believe in... trust in... lead a life of obedience...
The King singing a song to the Bride... that to my ear... echoes the song of the Bride prepared...
The King pursuing... longing to unlock the streams of living water from the Bride He loves... one member at a time...
Lord, make me attentive to Your pursuit... to Your love... May I increasingly trust Your love for me... unlock my heart to the fountain of living water...
