Christ offers to all of us the river of life!!! There is no effort involved in receiving it, only faith in Him alone.
John 4:14 "but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

God Defends the Little Ones
I think of what the people of God are teaching their
children and the blessing God has for them for honoring Him.
AND THEN:
I think of the terrorist who are teaching their children to
despise and kill Jews and anyone else who is not Islamic, and the fate that
awaits them when they have to face their Creator;
AND, THIS PASSAGE COMES TO MIND:
Mark 10:13-16
"13 Then they brought little children to Him, that He
might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said
to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of
such is the kingdom
of God
15 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”
16 And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them,
and blessed them."
God the Father Calls Jesus Christ "God"
God the Father calls Jesus Christ the Son.....God!!!!
Hebrews 1:1-9
"1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of ALL things, through whom also He made the worlds;
3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the RIGHT hand of the Majesty on high,
4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
The Son Exalted Above Angels
5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”?
And again:
“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?
6 But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let ALL the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says:
“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son He says:
“Your throne, O GOD, is forever and ever;
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
