VERSE OF THE DAY" REVELATION 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain, all these things are gone forever.

PROMISES OF COMFORT One of the hardest truth to reconcile in the Christian life is the presence of evil in the world God created. Whether we've seen evil, or evil has been done to us, it is hard to make sense of why God would allow evil things to happen.

The truth is: the world we live in is broken. Because we have neglected God's path for living, the world is not as it should be. But even though evil exist, God's promise still remains: evil will not win. The brokenness of our world will not last forever.

The book of Revelation gives us an insight into the future of all things. While there are a lot of odd symbols and events in Revelation. There are also some very clear and hopeful pictures of what will happen.

One of the promises that we hold onto in dark times is in Revelation 21:4. God promises He will wipe away every tear-which means He will be our everlasting Comforter. He promises that in heaven there will be no death or mourning, no crying nor pain.

While our temporary time on earth might be filled with pain and grief, we look forward to the future when we will join God in heaven and be free of death and decay. This truth should fill is with hope and endurance in the midst of pain and sorrow.

If you're currently going through a difficult time, take some time to pray to God, and ask Him for help and courage. Keep in mind His promises to make all things right in the end, and let that hope carry you forward as you follow after Him.

SHARE YOUR FAITH Someone you know is enduring a season of grief and mourning. Take a moment to pray for them. Be intentional to reach out to those who are grieving and to share God's comfort and hope.

Father God, thank You for deeply caring about who I am, I'm so grateful that, one day, You will take away all the pain and hardship I've experienced. But until that day comes, I will trust You and cling to You. I will place my hope in You. I will bring You my pain, and allow You to comfort me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

JOHN 3:16 For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Take a moment and think about what this verse says about God's heart. Don't rush. Simply express whatever comes to mind to Him

1 CORINTHIANS 6:12 You say, "I am allowed to do anything" - but not everything Is good for you. And even though, "I am allowed to do anything," I must not become a slave to anything.

Is there anything keeping you from drawing closer to God? Be honest with Him about how you're doing, and voice your concerns.
