Uncontainable

Go into the entire world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature (of the whole human race) Mark 16:15

These are the words spoken a long time ago by Jesus Himself. This was a commandment He gave to His disciples and personally I think; to everyone who are His followers. Go out and preach the good news. Tell everyone because everyone needs to know of the joy and the hope and most of all the love of God. So much love that He sent His only son to save His people from sin. . So much love for EVERYONE.

These words went out towards the people gathering with Him more than two thousand years ago.
Jesus came to give the living water to all the thirsty souls, and these living waters will become a spring of water, welling, bubbling up within each one accepting it, into eternal life.

The words spoken were passed down through the generations, through people, from their hearts and it flowed through their mouths to the people around them. This cannot be held inside, it is too big. Too powerful. Too much joy to keep to yourself. Much more than we can ever imagine.
It formed a light which shines so bright it chases the darkest dark away. It dances on the wind to reach out to all four corners of the earth. It fills the oceans to wash upon the shores of far away islands and continents. Flows down rivers, seeping through to the deepest valleys, bringing the message of hope, it meanders over the land over the highest mountains, touching the sky and flutters among the brightest stars. It gets soaked up by all creation and heaven and earth shall declare His glorious name. Never perished, never destroyed, never fades away.

It reaches for me, wrapping around me like a blanket of peace. It fills my whole being, inside out. Right down inside my body, my soul, my spirit man and it lifts up everything inside of me. Making the light shine.

This is not containable; this cannot be held inside and the living water washed the words from my heart through my mouth.
The words dance on the wind towards the people around me.

The words forming the message of the gospel of my Jesus Christ.

Our Jesus Christ

I enjoyed reading your very poetic descriptions in your middle paragraph, especially this line, "It dances on the wind to reach out to all four corners of the earth." I love the way you put your ending, "Our Lord Jesus". Thanks for writing this.
