Topsy Turvy World

The joyous, riotous overflow of splashing water. L by French artist Henri Guérin. R by Indian artisan Raju & myself.

Secularists* don't own society. They just think they do and are being bossy about it. Christians don't own society either, much as some wished they did; nor do people of any religion. We all live in the Kingdom of God, who owns us. So don't be intimidated by those who shout too loudly (whether religious or secular). But listen to your soul's cry for satiation.

Look well at my handpicked servant;
    I love him so much, take such delight in him.
I’ve placed my Spirit on him;
    he’ll decree justice to the nations.
But he won’t yell, won’t raise his voice;
    there’ll be no commotion in the streets.
He won’t walk over anyone’s feelings,
    won’t push you into a corner.
Before you know it, his justice will triumph;
    the mere sound of his name will signal hope, even
    among far-off unbelievers.

(God the Father speaking of Jesus; originally spoken through Isaiah the prophet. Matthew 12:15-21 The Message)

“Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again. 14 But no one who drinks the water I give will ever be thirsty again. The water I give is like a flowing fountain that gives eternal life."

(Jesus speaking to a woman at a well. John 4:13-14 CEV)
