The Spring.

THIS little girl and her mother have come to the spring to get some water. They are standing on the boards which extend over the edge of the water. The little girl would be afraid, if she did not feel her mother’s hand on her shoulder. Now she knows she is safe.
What a beautiful trust the child has in her mother. She remembers that mother is always doing and caring for her.
There is One whom we should trust, as this small child does her mother. It is the Lord, who is ever caring for us and asking us to put our trust in Him. He says;
The mother has her pail on her arm. She will stoop down and get it full of clear cold water. She will not have to pay any money for it.
The Lord does not ask us to pay for the things He gives us. Without fresh air and pure water we could not live. These we cannot get from man, but from the Lord. But there is the “Water of Life,” a better gift than the water that we get from the spring, which we also get from the Lord.
He says, “Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Rev. 22:1717And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. (Revelation 22:17). He also says, in His word, “Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:1414But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (John 4:14).
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money, and without price.” Isa. 55:l.
