“I have learnt that faith is not about escaping the storm or trying to explain it. It is about standing within it, holding on to hope, and working with God for the renewal of what remains. Somewhere beneath every ruin, the spring still flows.” Seoyoung concludes her 12 reflections on water in today’s Daily Devotion.

“Someone started to sing, and soon the whole room was moving together. We laughed, we danced, we raised our voices in praise. The children ran to the doorway and lifted their faces to the sky. Their joy spread to everyone. The same rain that brought me worry brought them happiness.” Seoyoung Kim sings in the rain in today’s Daily Devotion.

“I heard a pastor from the Pacific Islands speak. “The water keeps rising and the land is disappearing”. His voice trembled as he spoke of home, of the sea that kept coming closer. I watched his hands shake and felt the weight of a world losing ground and the ache of a God who still loved it.” Seoyoung Kim contemplates water and justice in today’s Daily Devotion.

“The water used for baptism looks gentle. It is clear and still, poured with care and received with hope. Yet, in the early Church, it was known as the water of dying and of rebirth. To enter it was to surrender the old self and rise into a new life in Christ.” Seoyoung Kim continues our reflections on water in today’s Daily Devotion.

“At that well, the two waters met. The water she offered and the water she received belonged to the same grace. The exchange was not one-way. He was refreshed by her kindness, and she was restored by his presence. It was no longer about who gave or who received. It was about the life that passed between them.” Seoyoung Kim reflects on the lwater given by and to the Samaritan woman in today’s Daily Devotion.

“If one person stands on a busy street corner and points up at the sky, most people will just walk past, ignoring them. But if five or more people stop and point at the same spot, something changes. …Everyone lifts their heads to see what is there. We are designed to look where others look.” Seoyoung Kim continues our exploration of water in today’s Daily Devotion.
