"Therefore with joy shall ye draw water
out of the wells of salvation."
Isaiah 12:3
I love this scripture. It reminds me that the gospel is the good news. It is all about Christ and the atonement He made, and the example He set. The more I learn about Jesus, the more I love Him. He is the God of second chances. He is really the God of as many chances as we need to get it right. He is not a God of condemnation, but of encouragement. He believes in us. He will give us every opportunity to turn to Him. With Him our burdens are easier to carry.
Christ is the living water. The wells of salvation are full and overflowing. No matter how many times we repent, those wells will be full. We cannot use up Christ's atonement. Christ will encourage us if we turn to Him. Satan is an accuser. Christ is a healer. I am so grateful that He is patient and loving and kind. He is helpful and encouraging, and wise. Christ is all things good, and if we turn to Him in all things, we can become more like Him, and have more peace, hope, and joy.
