It is a passage that always brings comfort. It is a vision of things to come. This world is full of disappointment and sorrow. There are tears and there are fears.
Do you ever feel all cried out?
I must confess... this past week has been full of some happy tears. One young lady in particular who has been close to my heart since she was two, graduated from high school. It is one of those reminders that God writes our story. Her spirit, her joy, and her healing are reasons to celebrate every single day. Not all tears are sad. Some spring from a heart full of gratitude.
Not every prayer is answered in a way that promises us we will escape loss, pain and sorrow. If that were the case, Jesus would have never gone to the cross. In those moments when we are completely broken, we find a strange quiet calm under the shelter of His wings, when we surrender and say, "Not my will, but thine be done."
In this prophetic passage, there is hope and the promise of a future beyond our imagination.
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” -Revelation 21:4
Today, I am grateful there will be no more tears.
