Tuesday’s Thoughts on Scripture comes from Revelation 7:17: for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” (NRSV)
Tears come for many reasons and crying can be cathartic, but is not always welcome. Have you ever cried because you were angry and the tears embarrassed you because you wanted to appear strong in front of someone else? Usually for me, however, it is pain of some form, whether mental or physical, that brings the tears. Sometimes it has seemed as though they may never stop.
What a comfort, however, to know that one day God promises to wipe away every tear from the eyes of those who have suffered or are suffering. So if you are feeling as though the tears will never stop, remember God keeps God’s promises. Always!
Blessings.
By the way, the surgical followup appointment went very well - the surgeon is pleased with hubby’s progress. Thank you for your prayers!!
