Traffic accidents not only cause financial damage, but also endanger the well-being of those involved. Every accident means another reason to think about your own driving behavior.
By the way, sometimes it is good to think about “living water,” as it is described in various places in the Bible. In John 4, Jesus speaks to a woman at the well, offering her “living water” that ultimately leads to eternal life. This water symbolizes the Holy Spirit, who helps believers to lead a fulfilling life. The same applies here: It's not just about what we see, but also about what strengthens and guides us inside - far more than a simple flow of water, because it leads to transformation (cf. Neverthirsty.org ).
Whether in traffic or in life, listening to your inner voice and sharpening your perspective never hurts. Let us remember to always act thoughtfully in our everyday challenges and do it well.
