Living Waters

John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 

38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

7 When I arrived there, I saw a great number of trees on each side of the river.

• …13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
