Water

God

Australia has lots of water problems at the moment. Water is the hot topic. I grew up amidst continuous serious water shortages in Pakistan. We just never had enough of it, so I’m really good at saving it!

I want you to hold two water-related images in your mind. The first is a huge watering trough. Like an enormous flat tank. In Pakistan, you see these at watering places for animals. Goats, cows and camels can come to drink from them. People have to bring water to pour into them so that the animals can drink. The more the animals drink, the more the troughs have to be filled.

The second image is a mountain spring, bubbling over, never stopping, continually flowing over with fresh water.

Hold those two images next to each other – the trough and the mountain spring. Now ask yourself: which one is God like?
