The river of beauty in everyone's life

Alice Jean Small

Imagine a sparkling river, pursuing its purposeful journey from its high mountain source down to the open sea.

The river is a resilient, redemptive, and pervading image in the Scriptures. The Psalmist sings, "There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High" (Ps. 46:4). And Revelation proclaims "a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb" (22:1).
