I’m concluding my set of devotions on the eyes with this
verve from Revelation
"…for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their
shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will
wipe every tear from their eyes.”
I cry when I’m lonely, when I’m disappointed, etc.
Crying releases tension, but that’s about all it does. It doesn’t heal.
However, there’s coming a day when those tears won’t be
necessary or even evoked any more, because all sorrow will be
non-existent.
Can you imagine that?
Nothing will make us cry tears of sadness, because our hearts, minds,
and souls will be completely full in the presence of God in our new state of
being.
What will that look like, to have God wipe away our
tears? Will his hands be soft and
gentle, will they smell of the flowers he’s been tending, will they hold us
when he’s through wiping our tears?
Yes, to all of the above.
His hands will lead us, hold us, bless us, and guide us to sit with him
forever…never to cry again over spilled milk…or anything else that’s gone
wrong.
