He will wipe every tear

Lately, I have crossed paths with several people who are in the midst of turmoil and pain. Their hearts are broken, their lives have been ripped apart and they just feel lost and hopeless.

I have been in such a place. A place that seems so dark and dreary. A place that seems like I am all alone. A place that I call out to God - but it seems like He has left me like all of the others.

This is not an easy place to be. Nor is it a place that we want to stay for long. I don't know why or how this works ... but whenever I have been in this dreary place and I call out the name of Jesus ... somehow the pain, the sorrow, and the tears seem to fade. There is just something about that name ...JESUS!

Jesus Jesus Jesus, how sweet is the name of Jesus!

Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." (NIV)

If you are reading this today, and you are hurting - call out the name of Jesus! Your circumstances may not change, but the condition of your heart may change. He will restore your joy, your peace and your purpose!
