Living Truth Must Be Shared

Truth is living to us when it comes to us fresh and warm from the Lord, when we receive it (not as the word of man but) as the Word of God, when that Word is permitted, nay, welcomed, to become the controlling power of our lives. That truth will remain in us a constant, living power by using it to bless others. The purest water, if held within a tank or pool, becomes stagnant, defiled, putrid, poisonous. But stagnant water, if permitted to flow over the rapids, rocks, and pebbles, becomes in the flowing pure. To retain God’s life we must use it. To attempt to keep it to ourselves, we shall lose it forever.
