                    I want to Refresh You

Come, I want to refresh you. Come and sit with Me beside the streams and
pools of living water. Drink deeply of My fountains. Your soul will be 
restored, your mind renewed, your heart healed and strengthened. 

Lay aside the burdens that have weighed you down. The enemy of your soul 
would place heavy burdens upon you, to hinder your walk with Me. The 
only burdens I mean for you to carry are you those I give you, and which
I carry with you. My yoke is easy and My burden light, because I give 
you My strength with which to carry it. This is not to say you will not 
have struggles as you walk through this world, but that you will have 
victory because you walk in My strength.  

Come, let Me refresh you with My waters. Put down those things which 
have blocked the flow of My streams in your life. Let Me bear the weight
of your cares; allow Me to take them upon My shoulders. Let Me take all 
of the shame, every hint of it, that the enemy keeps trying to place on
you. He knows that if he can keep you bowed down with worries or shame, 
that you will not be able to fully receive the refreshing and strength 
which I desire to give you. 

Come to Me, and draw from My well, which I have placed within you. 
Remove the blockages which hinder the flow, and the well will become 
a river in your life, fed by deep underground springs, constantly 
being renewed, providing cool, refreshing, life-giving water in a dry 
and dusty land. Rejoice and be glad, My children! Delight yourselves in 
the refreshing I have provided for you. Then you will be able to share 
it with those around you, and the flow of My living water will continue 
to increase in your life.
