"HE Will Wipe Every Tear From Their Eyes."

As though it had never been!

(Octavius Winslow)

"I consider that our present sufferings
are not worth comparing with the glory 
that will be revealed in us!" Romans 8:18

Beloved, soon, O how soon!

all that now loads the heart with care,

and wrings it with sorrow--

all that dims the eye with tears,

and renders the day anxious

and the night sleepless--

will be as though it had never been!

Emerging from the entanglement, 

the dreariness, the solitude, 

the loneliness, and the temptations 

of the wilderness--

you shall enter upon your everlasting rest, 

your unfading inheritance, where there is . . .

  no sorrow,

  no sin,

  no suffering,

  no crying,

  no evening shadows,

  no midnight darkness!

But all is one perfect, 

cloudless, eternal day--

for JESUS is the joy, 

the light, and the glory thereof!

"And so we will be with 
the LORD forever!" 
1 Thessalonians 4:17

"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 21:4
