Beresh*th(Genesis) 26:18-19.
And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. And he called their names by which his father had called them. And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there was a well of springing water.
Hi everyone, its been a while since I posted because
I am digging a new well. It was only after I finally admitted to myself there was no more water and the thirst became unbearable that I began my search for a new spring to drink from.
The old well of my life had dried up, with not a fountain in sight, many days were spent reminiscing about the taste, the coolness and freshness of yesterday's water upon my lips and I remembered the refreshing as it refreshed and replenished my thirsty soul. Those moments of sheer bliss as the Fountain of Life filled me to the overflow and of those times as I received and freely gave out of my abundance. That well slowly dried up as I continued to pour without being replenished. My drinking now coming in trickles, my well was depleted, my bucket empty and there was no one to refill or refresh me.
There were times I wanted to scream, to cry out, but my throat was parched and my tears refused to flow..they too had dried up.
Still I gave as I crawled through the desert, still hoping for, trusting that someone who had gone ahead of me had found an oasis and left me a cup.
But it was not to be. I had stumbled upon bodies of water, unfortunately they were stagnant mires, unmoving, murkey, pooled from old wells of religion, deception, lies and half-truths.
My soul cried night and day as I searched for that life-sustaining WELL just beneath the surface, beneath the worn out phrases, the smiles, the no depth, regurgitated scriptures, the gatherings, the lies we tell ourselves and others...beneath all that lies the truth. I WAS EMPTY...
I understood then as I do now...I must dig a new well. That is symbolic of how we reconnect to our Source, ABBAYAH, Creator, God. When the well has dried up, We must dig again. Yes its not a pleasant task, but its is oh so rewarding. We will discover new ways, new tools, new concepts of old understandings (wells of our ancestors) we'll give old places new names...Most of all we'll discover who we really are and to whom we belong.
May you too recognize when your well has been depleted...YOU MUST DIG AGAIN!
Blessings and Peace❤
