NO MORE CRYING

"For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning."

Psalms 30:5
King James Version

J. Graydon Hall wrote an inspiring hymn "Just Beyond". I love the words in this beautiful and heart touching hymn. "Just beyond this vale of tears,Where the cares of life annoy; Just beyond a few short years, There is everlasting joy. Angel voices sweetly blend, Singing songs of love and praise; Rapture is without an end, Just beyond these pilgrim days."

How I long to see Jesus when He comes back for us. Are you ready to meet Him if He comes while you're reading this devotion? You may be saved but is your heart in right standing with God? Pastor Elisha A. Hoffman wrote a hymn that asks a question that everyone of us has to answer "Is Thy Heart Right with God?" What about it? When God looks in your heart, is He happy with what He sees or does it hurt Him and break His heart?

It doesn't matter if we are a pastor, a Sunday school teacher, if we play the piano or organ, if we sing in the choir or sing solos in church, what matters to God is what is in our heart. O how I want to make God happy but there are times when I lose my temper when someone hurts me and then I hurt Him and I have to ask Him to forgive me. May God have mercy on us for hurting Him.
