“Manchmal bin ich ein Thermometer – bei all der Not um mich “falle” ich. Aber wir muessen Thermostate sein, nicht Thermometer. Ein Thermostat spuert die Kaelte und ersetzt sofort die fehlende Waerme, indem er das Zimmer mit dem **Ofen in Verbindung bringt. Das ist es, was wir tun muessen.” – Corrie ten Boom

On the cover, front and back, of THE AUCKLAND GUIDE 2011-12, I find words like these: “LIVE”, “EMBRACE”, “LOVE”, “EXPLORE”, “REFRESH”, “OASIS”, “ENERGY”, etc !
I am especially interested in the word “OASIS”.
Are you looking for an OASIS? What is an OASIS? The Collins Concise Dictionary says, “a fertile patch in a desert occuring where the water table approaches or reaches the ground surface.”
Water! “Fresh water is the world’s most precious resource.”
Are you looking for Living Water? Are you looking for water which satisfies the deepest needs?
The Lord JESUS CHRIST is the source of Living Water. (John 4:10) In the dictionary I am reading also that an OASIS is:
— a place of peace.
— a place of safety.
— a place of happiness.
