Have you ever wondered if fish drank water?
I know what you’re thinking.
Only a crazy guy like me thinks of such lunacy.
Well, think of a tiny fish right smack in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Now tell me. Wouldn’t it be funniest thing in the world if baby fish says to mother fish, “Mommy, I’m thirsty.”
I mean, helloooooo….
Can you imagine what his mother will say?
“Geepers, kid! Have you been dunked in wasabe? Has Jaws III chewed off your head? Have you stepped down the evolution ladder and developed only a brain stem? How in the @&$%#! could you be thirsty?” (Note: I apologize for the obscene language. The mother fish is not spiritually renewed.)
“Well…I forgot how to do it. I’m only one day old, you know. And I am really thirsty,” the little squirt says, her fin pointing to her mouth.
“Ow alright,” the mother spits, “if you want to drink water, all you have to do is open up.”
“Open up?”
“Yes, dummy. You don’t have to go to the fridge and pour yourself a glass of liquid. You don’t have to go to a store and buy a can of Coke. And you don’t have to wait for rain drops to fall down the sky and open your mouth while belting out, “I’m singing in the rain…” All you have to do is open up! Open your mouth and open your throat, and the whole Pacific Ocean will come rushing into you.”
“Oh…”
So the baby fish opens up, and does a summersault as it is hit by a torpedo of water shooting through her system.
Yes, all we have to do is open up.
Some people have a hard time praying.
They think it’s a matter of going to the fridge for a glass or going to the store to buy a bottle of water…
No, praying isn’t you doing something.
I believe that praying is essentially allowing something to happen to you.
Because right this minute, you are surrounded by the ocean of God’s Presence. He’s all over you, enveloping you, immersing you, drenching you with His love.
You need Him?
Open up.
You need His power?
Open up.
You need His blessing?
Open up.
You need anything right now?
Open up.
He’ll be coming, running, rushing towards you with His love.
May your dreams come true,
Bo Sanchez
