NO MORE TEARS!
Rev 21:4
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.
Perhaps you remember the old commercial for
Johnson’s Baby Shampoo. It showed a mother shampooing baby’s hair with lather
all over. The happy baby helped to reinforce the selling point of “No More
Tears!”
Heaven, the eternal state of the
redeemed, will have no more tears! My first thought this morning was “But this
is how I worship!” In the presence of the Holy, some folks shout but I
just cry.
I weep for my unworthiness. I weep for my ignorance and
stubbornness. I sob at His love and generosity toward me. I just cry. I can’t
help myself.
I can only conclude that, in Heaven, the former
things will have passed away. My unworthiness will be replaced by guaranteed
acceptance. My ignorance will be replaced by full knowledge of the Holy. My
stubbornness will have been both subdued and surrendered. My tears will be
wiped away by the very God Himself.
Ps 30:4-5
4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye
saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a
moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh
in the morning.
O Lord, even now I can’t help
but weep at the thought of it all. Take thy gentle hand and brush away my tears
and replace them with joy. AMEN
