The loos in our house always have a small stack of reading material on top of their water tanks. Yesterday, I picked up a book of quotes and prayers that I received last year as a hospitality gift from a friend. The book takes various quotes about water and applies them to personal prayers.
One quote in particular landed softly on my heart:
"The fall of dripping water hollows the stone."
Lucretius (99-55 B.C.)
How true it is that satisfying our thirst for Living Water everyday will hollow out the hardness of our hearts. I have personally found that after only a mere week away from God's Word my heart can grow frighteningly hard. And it is only after we have been in God's Word for a long time, that we are sensitive to the changes in our heart when we are without it.
What a wonderful illustration we find in God's creation of how water, a substance that runs softly through our fingers, can patiently hollow out a place for itself inside the mightiest of stones.
