“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
Miles wanted to be honest with people concerning the deep and crushing sorrow he felt. From a human perspective, his life was marked with what people called his many losses. While never living in denial, Miles also knew that his life as a believer was blessed by God. He was overheard speaking to another believer, “Our lives here and now are focused on the then and there! God’s going to wipe these tears away! It’s not going to rain forever! So we trust Him today and with joy look forward to these painful days being called the former days!” Is this how you are facing your painful experiences?
For today: How awesome is the Lord. I wonder how He will wipe the tears from our eyes?
