Can you guess what these structures are?
We find these all over the Plateau Picard: they are wells.
Today the wells are blocked up, because they are not needed. Each village is served by pipes which bring water to each home. The wells are from a bygone era, they are obsolete, they have no relevance for today. More than that, they are dangerous. A child could crawl inside and fall: what a horrible thought!
For me, these wells are an image of how France thinks today of everything to do with God.
“All these ideas about God are from a bygone era, they are obsolete, they have no relevance for today. More than that, they are dangerous: we need to protect the people from these ideas.”
This is what is said today. So, we have blocked up the wells of living water. France is dead, spiritually, because we have blocked up the wells of living water. Jesus wants to give His new life to every person in this beautiful country, but we have blocked up the wells of living water.
Do you know what God can do? He can cause His living water to burst out, explode, from these blocked-up wells! Imagine what it would look like if one of these wells in the pictures above was to be shattered by the force of the water suddenly bursting out from it!
I believe that is what God wants to do: He wants to make his living water burst out of the blocked-up wells, all over France. Let’s pray that this happens as soon as possible!
