Has anyone ever noticed that where there is water, there are green things? Of course. It is most impressive where there is nothing green growing and a stream or river flows through the area. What a difference a little water makes!! This is an object-lesson of the influence that the saving grace of Christ should have upon the hearts and lives of human beings. And had those to whom God has given the riches of the water of life, realized the responsibilities resting upon them as stewards of the grace of God, and gone forth as faithful missionaries into all the barren places of the earth, the wilderness would have been made to blossom as the garden of the Lord.
