"If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He
who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow
rivers of living water. But this He spoke concerning the SPIRIT.” (John
7:37-39)
God is love. We will become the image of God. The power of love will flow as rivers of living water from us after
this fleshly body is destroyed and we have been resurrected a “Spiritual body”…
”So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body
that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in
dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in POWER;
it is sown a natural body, it is raised a SPIRITUAL body.”
(1 Corinthians 15:42-44)
The Holy Spirit is the POWER of God, and love is the most powerful attribute of our omnipotent God. Love is the flowing
river of living water now pouring from Calvary. It flows unquenched out of the
heart of God through his Son Jesus.

The love of God is
greater far
Than tongue or pen can
ever tell;
It goes beyond the
highest star,
And reaches to the
lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed
down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He
reconciled,
And pardoned from his
sin.
When years of time shall
pass away,
And earthly thrones and
kingdoms fall,
When men, who here
refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and
mountains call,
God’s love so sure,
shall still endure,
All measureless and
strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s
race—
The saints’ and angels’
song.
Could we with ink the
ocean fill,
And were the skies of
parchment made,
Were every stalk on
earth a quill,
And every man a scribe
by trade,
To write the love of God
above,
Would drain the ocean
dry.
Nor could the scroll
contain the whole,
Though stretched from
sky to sky.
O love of God, how rich
and pure!
How measureless and
strong!
It shall forevermore
endure
The
saints’ and angels’ song.
