Tears are an indication of joy or pain…most of the times of pain. The pain that we go through can be crushing and devastating…therefore, the tears. Pain like tears, is also an indication of something deep inside that is causing it.
The LORD speaking through His apostle John has this for all of those who are in pain and in tears – “4 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
Isn’t that a great and wonderful day? It sure is. The good news is this, that the kingdom of God is not somewhere far away in the future. It has already come, and has begun its work in our hearts. This is even greater news – “28…surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.” – Matthew 12:28b
The work of the kingdom of God has begun in us, and it is, a work in progress. There will come a day, when we will be part of that glorious kingdom in a more fuller sense. Meanwhile, let us be thankful and grateful to the LORD for His grace and mercy, and be eagerly waiting for the LORD to reveal His kingdom more fully in us.
Remember that there will be no more years and pain…the LORD shall wipe away everything that is sinful and painful. HalleluYah!!! Therefore, let us patiently run the race, that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith – Hebrews 12:1-2.
"The God of all comfort keeps watch over your weeping. He gathers up all your tears and puts them in his bottle (Psalm 56:8). Like a mother sitting beside her child’s sickbed, God marks every sigh of discomfort and pain. No matter how much of your anguish has gone unnoticed by others, not one moment has escaped the attention of the God who neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:4)."
