Tears Shall Cease

Tears Shall Cease, January 28
Author: Charles H. Spurgeon From the book: Faith's Checkbook

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." - Revelation 21:4

YES, we shall come to this if we are believers. Sorrow shall cease, and tears shall be wiped away. This i the world of weeping, but it passes away. There shall be a new heaven, and a new earth, so says the first verse of this chapter; and therefore there will be nothing to weep over concerning the fall and its consequent miseries. Read the second verse, and note how it peaks of the bride and her marriage. The Lamb's wedding is a time for boundless pleasure, and tears would be out of place. The third verse says that God Himself will dwell among men; and surely at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore, and tears can no longer flow.

What will our state be when there will be no more sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain? This will be more glorious than we can as yet imagine. O eyes that are red with weeping, cease your scalding flow, for in a little while ye shall know no more tears! None can wipe tears away like the God of love, but He is coming to do it. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Come, Lord, and tarry not; for now both men and women must weep!

-----

I am excited for the day where He will wipe away every tear from our eyes! The day where we will no longer see anything but His glory and be filled to the brim with the joy of the Lord. Come Lord, Come. We long for the day of no more fear, pain or tears! Agape.
