NO MORE HEARTACHES OR TEARS

“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 KJV

Jim Hill wrote the beautiful hymn “What A Day That Will be”.  I love these words.  “There is coming a day When no heartache shall come No more clouds in the sky No more tears to dim the eye All is peace forever more On that happy golden shore What a day, glorious day that will be.”

The newspapers, the radio and the television report violence and heartache every day.  I receive emails from people who are brokenhearted, discouraged, hurting and feel like giving up.  We must not give up.  We must be true to the mission God has given us to do just as Jesus completed His mission.

It is very important and even urgent that we encourage one another.  We don’t know what is going on with our family and friends.  We only know what they tell us.  May God help us to encourage one another.  It is very important that we encourage our pastor.  Pastors get discouraged just like we do.

Heavenly Father, I pray for all those who are discouraged, lonely and hurting.  Please comfort and encourage them as You have done for me so many times.  Thank You for being a compassionate loving Father.  I love You, dear Father, and I appreciate You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
