“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
We can rest in God’s hope today because we know that our tomorrow is already in His caring hands.
Today is the best time to experience His love. Today is the best time to rely in His strong arms for us to be carried through the hurdles of life. Today, we can cry to Him and be assured that He sees and hears us.
I know that we long for that day when all our pain will go away. And we have that hope in our hearts unremoved, because that is the reality our Lord has already prepared for us.
And this hope that is ours in Christ Jesus is more than enough for us to take hold. We still have the capacity to comfort people who are grieving even our own hearts are broken. We still can embrace the hurting because of the extravagant love of Christ in us.
We can do these things as imitators of who He is, because we know that the One who will wipe all our sorrows, our pains and our tears in the future, is with us,
in the now.
And this is the kind of hope, that will never ever disappoint.

We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Romans 5:3-5
