The River Within Soul Care
Whoever believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from within.
— Jesus
When Jesus stood before the crowd and said words that were both a declaration and an invitation, His listeners were hard pressed in that moment to know:
That it is the loving intimacy of the Trinity that flows through our lives and out into the world.
That the rivers are irrepressible and capable of overcoming any obstacle to find new channels to flow unhindered.
That He intentionally chose the word “rivers” to speak of the dynamic movement of God in our lives.
The River Within Soul Care believes that by the grace of God each day, the life of the Trinity keeps coming to us with everything we need to experience the fullness of life here and now that Jesus brought to us. We are here to join you in recognizing, exploring and enjoying these life-giving, never-ending flowing waters.
The supreme gift that anyone can give another is to help that person live life more aware of the presence of God. Sacred companions help us remember that this is our Father’s world. They help us hear his voice, be aware of his presence and see his footprints as we walk through life. They accompany us on a journey that is made sacred not by their presence but by the presence of God.
