Why Well Water?
There is a lot of power in a name. I am willing to bet that most of my readers know the meaning of their own names, and I am willing to bet that many would agree their name does describe them or an aspect of their character. Is that coincidence? Or is there power in a word?
We can reflect on that a different day. For now, let me explain why I picked Well Water Life for this blog title.
Have you ever tasted water from a well or sipped water from a fresh spring? It tastes different. It is crisp, with the slightest hint of earth or mineral. What you don’t taste is chlorine or fluoride, because well water is not chemically treated the same way as city water. Both city and well water will hydrate your body. They act in the same manner to cleanse, cook, and revive, but they taste different. Well water tastes natural because it is in a more natural state.
Well water is privately owned. If you have a well, it is your well. It is under your maintenance. If it needs to be treated it is up to you to treat it, but if you treat it and test it as you should then you can fully trust it because you know where it comes from and what has gone into it. It belongs to you and how you care for that water will be reflected in the way it grows you and your loved ones.
Water is life. We can’t live without it. There is no growth if we are not replenishing our bodies with the mysterious nourishment that it brings. Seeds do not take root, trees do not bear fruit, and animals do not reproduce without this life source.
Starting to catch the symbolism?
For my Christian readers, a quick connection to the story of Jesus and the woman at the well might be apparent . Yes, that is also intentional. She went to the well for a bucket of water, but she left with hope! Hope born of a reconciliation with a God that she feared but believed would never love her.
Never forgive her. What she found at the well was Grace himself. As she departed, she rejoiced! She carried on her shoulders pails of water, but her soul no longer carried a burden. She had been received, restored, and refreshed by living water. She left with new life and a commission to share it with others.
Water is meant to be taken in every day. We are meant to replenish what is good for us in order to sustain a healthy lifestyle and to grow in strength, wisdom and prosperity. In the same way, we should take the time to fuel our passions and explore our purpose and dedicate time to the things that nurture our souls. Discover your gifts! Do the work to improve upon skills that produce life results that bring you joy! Wisdom will come from the process and your journey will start to take on adventure and direction.
