NO MORE

“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
King James Version

Hattie Bronson wrote a beautiful hymn “The Beautiful Shore”.  I love these words.  “There will be no more parting From those that we love, No more sighing, or shedding of tears, For no discords shall ruffle That peaceful repose, Which flows thro’ eternity’s years.”  There will be no more tears or parting from our loved ones.

Jim Hill wrote the beautiful inspiring hymn “What A Day That Will Be”.  The words in this hymn bring tears of happiness to my eyes.  “What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see, And I look upon His face, The One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand And leads me through the Promised Land, What a day, glorious day that will be.”

I don’t think any of us, including me, realize what a privilege it is going to be to see Jesus.  It is a privilege just to say His precious Name.  Carrie E. Breck wrote the heart touching and inspiring hymn “Face to Face with Christ, My Savior”.  I’m so glad the words in this hymn are true.  “Face to face—oh, blissful moment! Face to face—to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves me so.”

Think about it.  We will never have to say goodbye and we will be reunited with our loved ones.  There will be no more tears, no more pain, no sorrow or crying and God Himself is going to wipe the tears from our eyes and I believe He is going to wipe the tears from our eyes with tender compassionate kisses.

If you’re going through a dark valley, know that Jesus will be faithful to pick you up and carry you until the pain goes away and will set you once again on the mountain top of happiness if you will ask Him to help you.  Jesus is a faithful, tender compassionate Saviour and He will never leave you, not even for a minute.

There are so many people who are hurting and desperately need to be encouraged.  It is very important and urgent that we are encouragers to one another.  We don’t know what is in a person’s heart, only Jesus can see into our heart.  We only know what they tell us.  We need to be encouragers to our family, our pastor, our friends and all we see.

There may come a time when you need to be encouraged.  The person who says he or she does not need anyone is not being truthful.  All of us need to be encouraged.  If we don’t encourage one another, it is doubtful that we will be encouraged.  It is so true “you get back what you give out”.  Are you encouraging your family, your pastor and your loved ones?
