No Tears To Dim The Eyes
" And God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither
sorrow, nor
There is a song that
we sing called "What A Day That Will Be" it talks about that glorious
day when we finally make it home and see Jesus' face for the first time. I do
not think I have ever been more homesick as I am now. Each day that passes by I
just say in my heart, "it's another day closer to home." I remember
when I was a kid that I was terrified at the thought of living for an eternity.
HA! How stupid is that? I was afraid to live forever. I guess it unnerved me
because I could not comprehend it at such a young age. I don’t know why. Thank
God now I take comfort in the thought. Someone sent me a message one time
explaining how we were made for God. In that message it said that life is a
preparation for eternity. They said that one day my heart will stop and that
will be the end of my body, but not the end of me. It makes sense to say that
life is a preparation for eternity, because life is all about God changing us
and creating a character that reflects His Word. Once we are a mirror image of
His Word we will be ready for home. Really this flesh body of ours is useless, because we live in the Spirit. We obtain eternal life through the Spirit alone. John 4 :24 says "God is Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." I am thankful that we have another life, a
better life beyond this one. A life of peace, a life of joy, a life of
brotherly love, and a life with no tears. What will it be like to live a life
without crying? I cry all the time
because my emotions are all over the place, so to think of this is
impossible for me to imagine. The most beautiful aspect about this is that God
Himself will take our face in His hands and wipe the very last tears we will
ever cry away, forever to be gone. Can you imagine what a beautiful smile He must have? We will not remember the pain that we have
felt over the years. It will be like it never even happened. That is a genuine
healing of a broken heart, to never again recall what broke it in the first
place. Why are we so sad all the time when we have something so great to look
forward too? I will admit that it is very easy for me to feel sad. When I have
those days all I do is focus on the pain I feel in my heart and what is causing it. I don't
understand why I do that, but I do. It is a waste of energy.Sometimes I don't know why I am upset. On those days of
grief I should be reminded that God is leading me every second of every day to
that moment that He will wipe my tears away,and will welcome me to my home of peace.
If I focused on that positive thought, this promise we have been given, then I
would be renewed in my mind and spirit. I would be reminded of the joy that
awaits me. I never understood why so many people did not appreciate Jesus
Christ. I am humbled and touched that the God of the universe, the Creator of
heaven and earth, would be willing to lay down His life for me so that I can
have this appointed day with Him. That God Himself will wipe my tears from my
eyes. How could I not love Someone like that? How could I not live my life for
Him? He did not have to do anything for me, but He did it anyway. I have a lot
of people in my life that love me, but it does not come close to the love that
Jesus Christ has for me. I love Him and thank Him for every moment He gives me.
I forget so easily that this "light affliction which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;" for we
"look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not
seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not
seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:17-18). Nothing in this life is worthy
to "be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us" (Romans
8:18). This is one of the millions of reasons why we should praise God every
day and sing this song to remind us of the promise we have in Him:
There
is coming a day when no heartaches shall come,
No
more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eyes;
All
is peace forevermore on that happy golden shore,
What
a day, glorious day that will be.
What
a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And
I look upon His face, the One who saved me by His grace;
When
He takes me by the hand, and leads me through the Promised Land,
What
a day, glorious day that will be.
There'll
be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear,
No
more sickness, no pain, no more parting over there;
And
forever I will be with the One who died for me,
What
a day, glorious day that will be.
We should remember
that life is a gift from God and we should be careful to spend the time we are
given wisely. Thank God we are not of this world but that we have a home beyond
the blue to rest. Hebrews 13: 14 says this, "for here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come." When I think about this I can't help but smile. It reminds me
that every moment that I live, every trial I go through, every heartache I may
have, will be worth it when I finally hear my Father say, "Welcome
Home." Oh my! We should remember that the pain we may face today or
tomorrow is only temporary. It cannot and will not last forever. This promise
no man can take away. Let us remember to always "offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name" (Hebrews 13:15) I pray this blesses you as it did me to write it. I know it is short, but it was heavy on my heart. I only have few words because I still have yet to experience what this is like. I
always need to be reminded of my true home. I pray you are strengthened by the
Word of God. I pray that you can be comforted through this, and I hope that
song "What A Day That Will Be" is stuck in your head the rest of the
week!😄 God Bless You my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. I look forward to
spending an eternity with each of you.
