He made us to be like water
Our bodies as hydrants of love
Designed to dwell on a diluted sphere
Which consequently is as wet in form
He created us to be strong enough to hold ships
Yet feeble enough to slip through cracks
To constantly keep flowing
And to hydrate others in drought
When our fruit becomes tasteless and bland
Or our flesh needs to be dampened
We drink of His lubricating word
And soak in His quenching perspiration
With each sprinkle our souls are baptized and moistened
And a great flood destroys all unholy land
We are wiped clean to start anew
To be His replenishing well for the thirsty
Michelle Williams once said in an interview that she wanted to “be like water, to slip through fingers but also hold up ships.” This quote conveys such imagery that it got me thinking about how complex water is and the different forms it takes. Think about it’s significance to our well being and existence. It’s crazy that God created us and created our world simply around a liquid.
In the Bible, God usually used water to cleanse or to baptize people and things that were unholy. So, what if God made us to be like water? To be the solvent that breaks the unrighteousness in each other or the chemical that causes reactions that change the world? Or what if we are meant to be the rain that washes away the mess the darkness leaves behind and furthermore, creates grow in earthly living?
