Revelation 22

Come to the River of Life. Here, in these waters, come meet your Father. Meet the One who loved you from the foundation of the world, the One who created you to be His own forever. Meet the One who never forgot you, who never abandoned you even when you despised Him, ran from Him, and cursed Him. Meet the Father who vowed to bring you home, even when it would cost Him everything.

Come to the River of Life. Here in these waters, come meet your Brother. Meet the One who has always been, the One who loved you eternally with His Father. Meet the One who took on your flesh to fulfill His Father’s will. Meet the Brother who suffered for you, bled for you, died for you, rose for you, ascended to the right hand of His Father for you, and ruled you so that you live forever in His presence. 

Come to the River of Life. Here, in these waters, meet your Comforter. Meet the One who gave you the blood that your Brother shed for you. Come receive the robe of righteousness, the robe of white that He has made your own, that He has given you to make you pure and holy. Come feel the warmth of that river that flows from the salvation of the Lamb.

Come to the river of life where your every sin, your every sorrow, your every anguish has been washed away. Come to the river which has made your name the very psalm written upon the palms of God.
