Que ta volonté soit faite

S'étant mis à genoux, Jésus priait, disant: Père, si tu voulais faire passer cette coupe loin de moi! Toutefois, que ce ne soit pas ma volonté mais la tienne qui soit faite. Luc 22. 41, 42

Quand je te parle en prière,

Quand mon cœur s'élève à toi,

Je voudrais, mon Dieu, mon Père,

Tout accepter avec foi;

Comme Christ courber la tête

Et te dire qu'il vaut mieux

Que ta volonté soit faite

Et non pas ce que je veux.

Je sais bien que ta sagesse

A veillé sur mon passé;

Mais c'est demain qui m'oppresse

Et dont je suis angoissé;

Que ma foi soit toujours prête

À te dire qu'il vaut mieux

Que ta volonté soit faite

Et non pas ce que je veux.

Oui, mon Dieu, dans ma prière

Je cherche ta volonté.

Je l'accepte tout entière,

Confiant dans ta bonté.

Comme Christ, courbant la tête,

Je reconnais qu'il vaut mieux

Que ta volonté soit faite

Et non pas ce que je veux.

Water and Life

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.” John 4:13-14

Only Jesus has the living water to quench our spiritual thirst.

As Dave Mueller reached down and turned the handle, water rushed from the spigot into a blue bucket. Around him people applauded. They celebrated as they saw fresh, clean water flowing in their community for the first time. Having a clean source of water was about to change the lives of this group of people in Kenya.

Dave and his wife, Joy, work hard to meet people’s needs by bringing them water. But they don’t stop with H2O. As they help bring people clean water, they also tell them about Jesus Christ.

Two thousand years ago, a man named Jesus stood at a Samaritan well and talked with a woman who was there to get clean drinking water for her physical health. But Jesus told her that what she needed even more than that was living water for her spiritual health.

As history has marched on and humanity has become more sophisticated, life still filters down to two truths: Without clean water, we will die. More important, without Jesus Christ, the source of living water, we are already dead in our sins.

Water is essential to our existence—both physically with H2O and spiritually with Jesus. Have you tasted of the water of life that Jesus, the Savior, provides?

Thank You, Jesus, for being our living water. Thank You for Your willingness to die on the cross and for Your power to rise from the dead in order to provide us that water.
