“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 KJV. How we need to remember that this world and our physical life is not all there is! There is coming a day for God’s children that all of these things spoken of in this verse will come to pass. and what a day that will be! God help us to remember that we are just pilgrims and strangers passing through this world. This world is not our final home. The sorrows and troubles we face here are only temporary. The heartaches we feel, the pain of loss and separation will all pass away. And it will be joy forevermore in the presence of our Lord. May we learn to live each day placing our values on the things of eternity and not this fallen world. May we understand that all of the former things will pass away and only what is done for Christ will last. The fleeting pleasures of this earthly existence will soon be gone. The material things we thought were so important and sought after are all going to pass away. Let us live as those who recognize this world is not our home.
