We can stand in the presence of the eternal, viewing it across the great divide of the river of life, or we can become a part of the river by achieving our higher calling in life.
“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters.” John 7:38 KJV “And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” Rev 22:1 KJV
