What was from the beginning, we've seen, we've heard, we've handled, concerning the Word of Life. I really like John and this is from 1 John 1:1. After saying a little about POWER in Sound and Sight, Sense comes next: the POWER OF TOUCH. If you were deaf and blind, chances are you could still FEEL. An earthquake, the heat of a strong lamp or fire. A good DOUSING in water! And so forth.
I love water. It feels really good - at the right temperature. Going under completely is a pleasure. This is about Living Water and His presence. I am like a Loon in His presence, I love to go DEEP and for a long time. (yes I know that crazy haunting call they make:). Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls, says psalmist David. All Your breakers and waves have ROLLED OVER me. I sense His Powerful surrounding and am at peace. Staying there is the challenge. Hits happen.
A few verses down John says, If we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light... so I take it that it is a constant walk and a continous submersion in His warm, comforting Being. He is there, inside Himself and we are invited in. The inner sense, again, can be far more delightful than any outer one.
