No More Tears

 

No More Tears

Scripture

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.” — Revelation 21:4

Personal Reflection

Every believer knows the language of tears. Some are visible, flowing freely in moments of grief; others are hidden deep within the soul, known only to God. Tears speak of loss, pain, disappointment, and longing. Yet the promise of Scripture is not merely that tears will cease, but that God Himself will wipe them away.

This is a deeply personal act. The God who ordained all things also tenderly ministers to His people. He does not dismiss their sorrow—He removes it. The storms of this life, though real and often severe, are not permanent. There is coming a day when every cause of grief will be forever eliminated.

This promise is not meant to minimize present suffering, but to magnify future glory. The believer does not deny pain; he endures it with hope. Every tear shed in faith is not wasted—it is remembered, and it will be answered in eternity with perfect joy.

Contemplation

Thomas Watson wrote, “God will wipe away all tears, but not till we have shed them.”
Do you bring your sorrow honestly before God—or do you attempt to carry it alone?

Prayer

Lord, remind me that every sorrow I endure is temporary, and every tear will one day be wiped away by Your hand.

Application

When sorrow arises, consciously entrust it to God, reminding yourself of His promise of complete restoration.
