Go Home

Mark 2:11 “I say to you, stand up, 
take your mat and go to your home."

   Jesus spoke these words
   to a paralyzed man
   who was lowered
   through the roof by friends.

      It was a declaration
      of freedom, proclaimed
      to a man who had no idea
      he'd already been set free.

         Can you imagine
         how unburdening
         these words were?
         If not for gravity,
         he might have floated away.

      I long for the day
      when all water saints
      hear those words.
  
   "Initiating Partners, take up
   your luggage and go home,
   the world is water-safe
   for all God's children."

"Operating Partners, continue
to take up your water bottles
and deliver them
to all the homes
where safe water is needed.
You are the healing and
sustaining arms of hope."

So let it be written;
so let it be lived and loved!
