DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 15:1-32; Jeremiah 26; Colossians 3:5 to 4:1
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. Rev. 21:4
This verse is a great comfort. Many believers today are going through times of intense pain and suffering, either in body through illness or in heart from other causes. The emotional pain that burdens the soul and the pain of losing those we love can often be intense. How much we can endure knowing we have something wonderful ahead—the assurance of an eternity where pain will be banished forever! —Jim Paul
The Father’s house! Oh say—what will it be?
Love! Perfect Love! And bliss eternally!
No lonely hearts! No hunger, deep and sore;
Grief, pain and sadness—then forever o’er. —J. Danson Smith
