---THATS OUR FUTURE ~~ NO MORE PAIN, NO MORE GRIEF, NO MORE DEATH ~~

--I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
---[Revelation 21:2-4 / NIV ]

Tears. Death. Mourning. Crying. Pain. No one gets through life under the sun without those things because this age is evil, and evil has results that we can see and feel on a daily basis. None of those things will be present in the age to come, because there will be a new authority in place. Jesus has given us a revelation of that new order in which evil will be nonexistent and our relationship with God will be unhindered by our carnal nature. For now, we can only imagine a place where there are no more tears, death, mourning, crying, or pain—but that is our future!

THINK ABOUT IT
God gives His people tremendous grace to endure the trials and pain of the present. But He does not stop there. He prepares a definite future without hurt or grief. Taking time to praise Him for that will inspire hope for today!

PRAYER
--"Heavenly Father, thank You that You have planned and are preparing a place for Your people where the result of sin is absent—no pain, no grief, no death. That fact brings me so much hope—hope to share! In Jesus’ name, amen."
