If we take a stone out of water and cut it in half, it will be dry in the middle. The consistency is so hard that it does not absorb any water! It flows around and it is formed through other stones but there is no water getting into the inside. The sponge is very different as it absorbs water which it releases when we squeeze it.

You can use this analogy for our hearts. Am I hardening my heart? Is everything just bouncing off of it? Am I hard like a stone and unapproachable? God who wants to give us living water to drink requires soft materials. He does not want to force himself inside. He offers everyone his water of life but we have to drink ourselves.

For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

Psalm 36:9

How does your heart work?
