Come all ye that thirst and drink of the  waters of life freely.
John 7:37  ķIn the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38  He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39  (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)

A river of life flows  from The Throne of God continuously night and day.
ķAnd he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation 22:1

All who come to His Throne may readily drink of the waters thereof and the waters shall bring forth life abundantly.
John 4:13  Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14  But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life

He who drinks of the river of life, before the Throne of God, out of him shall flow fountains of living waters to replenish the thirst of the multitudes.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Revelation 7:17

Like the miracle of the loaves of bread performed by Jesus, so the water of life multiplies within the hearts of those who drink of the river of Life.
Mark 6:38  He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39  And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40  And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41  And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42  And they did all eat, and were filled.
43  And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44  And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

Like the oil of the miracle of the widow's pot performed by Elisha, that filled many tubs and vats.
2 Kings 4:2  And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
3  Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4  And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5  So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6  And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

Jesus said, "If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink".
ķIn the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. John 7:37

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture says, "From within him there shall flow rivers of living water."
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 7:38
