Every Tear

Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. “Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”   Revelation 7:13-17

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 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.”   Revelation 21:3-4

imagine if you can,

a world where everything

is as it should be,

as it was meant to be;

no darkness,

no evil,

no fear,

no doubt,

no suffering,

no pain,

no greed,

no lust,

no jealousy,

no envy,

no sadness

no anger;

only love;

easy to speak about,

much harder to truly see,

in a world ruled by flesh and lust,

where everything is about

satisfying fleshly desires,

where self-indulgence and

carnal pleasure dominate,

with fear controlling every

thought and action,

trying to imagine such a world

is almost beyond normal

human comprehension;

but try anyway;

this is the world which was

in the beginning,

the world which shall be restored,

the kingdom that is to come,

where the only One who lived

the perfect life,

will sit on His throne and

rule with justice,

protecting all who believe in,

and belong to Him;

where hunger and thirst will no longer exist,

where the sun shall not beat nor heat scorch,

where the Lamb shall be their shepherd,

leading them to springs of living water;

where every tear shall be wiped away

forever.
