Heaven
GOD HAS PROMISED to take away:
. DEATH: No more bedside vigils, anxious moments and the mixed feelings that force us to cry, "I hate to see her suffer; but, I cannot bear to say, 'Goodbye.'"
. MOURNING: No more uncontrollable sobs of sorrow. No more hours of visitation at the funeral home. No more nights of lonely vexation. No more days of bitter-sweet memories.
. CRYING: No more tear-stained pillows of disappointment. No more blood-shot eyes of despair. No more fatigue or feeling washed out from the stress that is so unique to discouragement.
. PAIN: No more open wounds. No more surgery. No more children with tears streaming down their cheeks and the question, "Why?" in their eyes. No more teenagers struggling with their identity or with the rejection of their peers. No more disloyalty and divorce. No more broken hearts. No more shattered dreams (Dan Winkler).
KneEmail: "And god will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away" (Rev. 21:4).
