Dig Deep

I saw a picture of someone digging a well using a shovel or spade and I saw the shovel dig deeper and deeper until the shovel found the water buried deep beneath the earth's surface. And out of this picture I feel the Lord was saying the following:

"Don't be afraid of when I meddle with your thoughts and desires. Let me dig deep within you and let me unearth all that is not of Me. Be as vulnerable as you possibly can with Me. Let you heart be as the soft soil. When I have dug deep enough the living waters will flow forth from your innermost being. Have I not said this would happen? You will feel a powerful release and liberty in prayer and intercession that you have not had before. Once this release happens in your inner man it will be worked out to the outer man. So don't be afraid of the pain in the unearthing process, for something great is truly happening."

Hope this is an encouragement to some. I know this is true because it has happened in my own life.
