The Ability of a Cactus
The Cactus is a fascinating plant. It survives in environments where water is scarce and temperatures are blistering hot. It lives with so little, yet still manages to do well. A cactus has the ability to absorb moisture through its stem as well as through its roots, and in this manner, secure a reservoir of water that sustains the plant.
Perhaps we can learn something from observing a cactus. Think of the Gospel as being that reservoir of water and having the ability to absorb the good from any situation. No matter where we are in life and what our circumstances may be, if we continue strong in the Gospel, we will always have that reservoir of life-giving water that is so crucial to our survival and we would never thirst.
