Take Comfort

One of the greatest promises that we have been given in the Bible is that "the best is yet to come".  We are promised that for all who enter heaven: we will be in God's presence, we will see and experience amazing things, we will be free from pain and death.  Check out some of these amazing promises!

And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:3-4

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.  II Cor 4:17

There are more too, but I am so drawn at this time to consider the comfort of God.  As families, communities and even our nation suffer loss, feel death and grief, it is so GOOD to know that GOD will bring comfort.  He promises it in Isaiah 51:12 and Matthew 5:4. 

Children, families, communities that now suffer loss.  I cannot bring you healing, but I pray for your healing. I pray for you to receive comfort from the Comforter, and that His gentle hand would this week wipe away the tears.  Let us be reminded together of the day when indeed there shall be no more death and no more pain.
