“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” — John 7:38
Reflection
When Jesus speaks of “belly,” He points to the deepest part of our being — the inner core where the Spirit dwells. This place is like a spiritual reservoir, designed to overflow. Just as a river doesn’t exist for itself but to bring life to everything it touches, the Spirit within us produces an outpouring that blesses others.
I believe this “living water” is expressed as a spirit of generosity. Generosity is not merely an act — it is a flow. It begins in the unseen place within us, where God deposits His abundance, and it manifests outwardly in giving, kindness, compassion, and care.
When generosity flows from within, it is not forced or fabricated. It is a natural outpouring of the life of God. The more we yield to His Spirit, the freer the river runs — refreshing communities, healing relationships, and igniting hope in dry places.
Prayer Lord, let the rivers of Your Spirit flow freely from within me. May my life be a continual stream of generosity that refreshes those around me.
