Revelation 21:4 NLT
What an indescribably incredible Promise! I write this not because I'm sad or overwhelmed with grief, but rather because my heart is full of hope and joy at the promise of Heaven.
I attended a Retirement Celebration for one of my friends - a former boss. When telling another friend about the joy of seeing those I hadn't seen in years, hugging necks, visiting, she teared up and said, "I believe that's what it's going to be like in Heaven..." Me, too... and no more tears...
What a day that will be!
U.S. Senate Chaplain, Reverend Peter Marshall once said in reference to Heaven, "Those we love are with the Lord and the Lord has promised to be with us. If they are with Him and He is with us, they can't be far away."
No, not far away, and not too long till we'll all be reunited face to face. And then God will wipe every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things will be gone forever. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
Prayer:
Father,
According to Your Word, we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, You will bring back with Him the believers who have died. Together, we will meet You in the air. In Jesus' Name, we thank and praise You for the hope that springs eternal. Amen
