“My heart and flesh cry out for You the Living God. Your Spirit’s water to my soul. I’ve tasted and I’ve seen come once again to me.”

Just when I’m about to upload this picture, I suddenly remembered this line from a song (Better is One Day) and I believed that was what exactly this photo was trying to represent: That (1) this isn’t just what a shellfish pond in the Philippines looks like during summer and after the harvest. Also, (2) this is what a person feels like sometimes: dry and empty.

And we all get this kind of summer in our lives. Summer that sometimes, you were the only one who can feel; summer that we keep to ourselves and ourselves alone; Summer that we don’t want to pass through; Summer that we don’t enjoy.

And that kind of Summer is normal just like this Summer we are currently experiencing here in the Philippines. It’s part of life and it will pass through.

But if time comes, you think your summer is never ending and you’re tempted to give up, remember this:
Every time we feel dry and empty we can always come to the Lord and allow Him to refresh our whole being. Just like how rain refreshes and gives life to this soil. 

Rain will come. God will come. Call unto Him and experience it yourself.
