JESUS A REFESHING OASIS

No matter how dry your situation feels, no matter how intense the heat, Jesus is refreshing oasis and will always cause there to be life blooming in your desert places.

Look at this cactus flourishing in its harsh desert habitat. As I view this plant amid rock...with no visible sign of its source of sustenance, I heard Matthew 6:25-34 in my head, drawing my attention to how this cactus just exists, not a care ; then I thought of myself about how engaged I often get about the climate, pressures, and humidity of  life. How I worry about my life and its sustenance.

As I walked away, it became clearer to me that like the cactus, I need to rely more on the refreshing oasis that Jesus is, and stop worrying about how my life will be sustained. No matter the climate or the temperature , once rightly rooted in Christ I'm guaranteed my sustaining nourishment. He promises to be living water, a wellspring that never dries; therefore , no matter how intense the environment , I will never thirst or be deprived of his nourishing care.

Beloved, Jesus Christ offers us an oasis of grace and mercy from the intensity of life. He is the refreshing brook that will never run dry in the midst of the desert. Let us then worry not about our life; but rather stay rooted by his spring of living water.
