The River of Life
HaShem is the Source of Life for all living things. He lovingly grants life to all of His creations: the Heavenly angels above and man below, the trees and plants, animals, birds, and fish. HaShem instills the various levels of life that are appropriate for each one of His creations. He bestows life both in this world as well as eternal life in the World to Come. Lesson: The ultimate kindness is the gift of life which HaShem continuously grants to us, for no reason except His unconditional love. App: Emulate Hashem and do your best to nurture people both materially and spiritually. Help them grasp the essence of life in this world, so that they can earn a share in the World to Come. Envision yourself as a "river of life" that nourishes and encourages all of HaShem's creations.
