Wiping Tears

I’ve always thought the passage in Revelation about there being no more death or mourning or crying in heaven was beautiful. It certainly describes a reality I want to experience.

But only recently was I truly struck by the part God will play in my healing—my transition from pain to paradise, from a world where I cry to a world where I don’t. God, the Bible says, “will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

Wow. That is so intimate.

Think about it—how many people in the world have actually reached over to your face as you wept, touched your cheek with their fingers, and wiped the tears from your eyes?

Not exactly on the level of a friendly side hug.

I get chills thinking about God doing that for me.
