"HE Will Wipe Every Tear From Their Eyes."

I know their sorrows!
(James Smith, "The Pastor's Evening Visit")


"For we do not have a high priest who is
unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
but we have ONE who has been tempted
in every way, just as we are" Hebrews 4:15

"I know their sorrows!"
 Exodus 3:7

The LORD is acquainted with all 
the sorrows of all HIS people. 
We do not suffer unnoticed. 
HE sympathizes with us--
and will sanctify sorrow to us. 
When we suffer--
JESUS sympathizes!

Beloved, HE knows our sorrows, 
and HE will be our COMFORTER. 
Let us lay them before HIM. HE will 
be gracious unto us at the voice 
of our cry. When HE hears--
HE will answer. HE is touched 
with the feeling of our infirmities. 

HE once suffered--
HE was "The Man of Sorrows, 
and familiar with suffering." 
HE is able to support us 
who now suffer.

HIS sorrows are ended--
and ours will be over soon! 

"Weeping may endure for a night--
but joy comes in the morning!" 
(Psalm 30:5b)

We shall obtain joy and gladness, and 
sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 
We shall enter into HIS joy, be filled 
with HIS love, and so be forever 
with HIM!

"HE will wipe every tear from their eyes. 
There will be no more death or mourning 
or crying or pain!" Revelation 21:4

O JESUS! Do not allow me 
to dwell on my sorrows--
but direct my heart into 
YOUR love!
