God Will Wipe Away Every Tear

Revelation 21:4 says "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

The book of Revelation should never be thought of as a frightening book filled with terror and judgment. The terror and judgment are reserved only for those who reject God's move into a new order, where tears and suffering and pain are permanently removed from the human experience. Every person is now welcome to reject the evil of our present time and embrace God's will and God's order.

And for those who have suffered and grieved in this time, know that God will wipe away all tears from our eyes.

 Picture yourself as a sad or hurt child who climbs into the lap of a loving parent. Picture that loving parent wrapping strong arms of consolation around you, listening to you explain what has hurt you, frightened you, scared you. Imagine yourself free to let the tears of grief fall from your eyes. Imagine that loving parent gently wiping away each tear with a caring, healing touch. Imagine knowing the person or thing that harmed you is gone forever, never to return.

This is the never ending, eternal comfort God will bring to those who love and follow him.

God will wipe away every tear. Be comforted and be courageous. Know that God keeps good records and will leave no pain or injury unhealed.
