Are you a good communicator? Do you keep others informed of good things? Are you an information facilitator? Do you consider those who might be out of the loop and miss a good report? Are you a consistent correspondent with those desiring to hear from you? Do you remember those who love you and would rejoice to have a good word from you?
The proverb is a simple analogy and simile. A thirsty person is encouraged, preserved, refreshed, revived, and sustained by a cold drink of water. You should be able to see his happy face and feel his thankful heart. A good report from a distant friend or business project has the same invigorating effect on those who hear it. Good news is a great gift, and it is cheap. Why not communicate more? What a simple way to refresh others!
