NO MORE TEARS
"And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes;" what strikes me as I read this is the closeness and the
intimacy of the meeting, if you think about how close hearts become as we as
human beings and individuals are at times of great sorrow as we are either
comforting another, or are being comforted ourselves. And then to think of
that, but instead of a loved one, friend, sister, brother, mother or father,
who truly does love you, it is THE ONE who loved you enough to have paid your
sin debt by dying and rising again in victory for you; THE ONE who truly knows
your sorrow and pain, THE ONE who has gone through your sorrow and your pain
before you and laid the foundation for the pathway that you are now going
along.
It's the Almighty God of Heaven! The Lord Jesus Christ
himself! And He is touching your cheek!
It's not you reaching out spiritually to Him in prayer
anymore, but it's Him reaching out and physically touching your face! Maybe He
will take your chin in one of His nail-scarred hands, while carefully wiping
the tears from your face with the other? Lifting your eyes till they meet His
as a father would take and comfort his child?
I believe it will be a time of incredible closeness.
