Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. On each side of the river grew a Tree of life... -Revelation 22:1 (under the heading: Eden Restored)
He who believes in Me as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being shall flow springs and rivers of living water. John 7:38
The name Amy means Beloved, Caelyn is similar...Loved Forever. Caelyn also incorporates Amy's middle name, Lyn which means beautiful and cascading waters.
Throughout scripture water is a symbol of the Spirit of God. Jesus compared the presence of God's spirit in those who believe in Him as living waters. All life needs water. For me, time spent near cascading waters has been associated with time in the presence of God and hearing his voice in special ways. For Amy, a reminder of His abundant grace.
