“And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, `Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.’” (Rev 21:3-4).
Part of the blessed of the blessed hope of heaven, besides being in the loving presence of the Lord, is what is NOT there that we must presently endure here on earth. What relief! No more pain and problems; no more sickness and sadness; no more funerals and graveyards! The tears of earthly pain are forever gone. So, whatever problem you are facing, remember that one day they will end. Be sure to fix your faith on the Savior and follow Him, no matter what! Heaven is the land of fadeless light and love, perfect peace and tranquility, with all the redeemed in the blessed presence of God Almighty forever. So, don’t let life’s problems get you down; remember to look up to the blessed hope.
“And He who sits on the throne said, `Behold, I am making all things new.’ And He said, `Write, for these words are faithful and true’” (Rev 21:5-6).
