The Fifteen Souls

We were the fifteen souls that fell into the 
well of faith with you,
did so at different times this is true,
we are in here with you.
A few of us watched you lean into
the beautiful three-tiered circular fountain...
at first there was no visible water from which one
can drink from, yet you stretched your faith and
were not daunted by what you did not see with
the natural eye. 
You leaned over to take a drink of the cool water
from this fountain which also served as a well to 
those who believe.
This drink of water became visible as it hit you lips
and tongue, then you drank deeply of the living water,
running down within.
You knew that you would never be thirsty or even hungry
for the things of this natural world again.
So now you travel with us your siblings throughout time,
throughout space you walk with us in this lifetime, 
through the valley of death while bearing the Name of
our Savior who went before us;
the One with the Name above all names!
All of the fifteen souls joined you in this well at one
time or another because we all have found out that 
to die to ourselves in this life is the only true way 
to live with Him forever.
So His Kingdom has come, His will is being done.
We are here to stay; walk with you as you work on to complete
the tasks which await your attention.
