Kathleen H. Hughes, former first counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, helped answer this question in her general conference talk "Blessed by Living Water" (Liahona and Ensign, May 2003, 13).
The living water heals us through the power of the Holy Ghost.
The living water nourishes and sustains us (see Matthew 11:28).
The living water brings peace and joy (see D&C 101:16).
Consider reading 1 Nephi 11:25 with your family or a friend. Discuss the relationship between the fountain of living waters and the tree of life.
The Savior taught, "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" (John 4:14).
