Your Tears Have An Expiration Date - God will wipe away every tear - there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away. This is the “restitution of all things,” and the deliverance of creation from the bondage of corruption which Paul anticipates. No words can portray in positive description what that universe will be, and even the inspired writer has to confine himself to negatives. Let us see to it that here and now the Lord Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the A and Z of our life. But we must overcome. Note that the fearful, that is, the cowardly, who draw back in the face of opposition, are classed with the abominable and murderers

 The New Heaven and the New Earth

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new throne saying:

“'Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man,

and He will dwell with them.

"'They will be His people,

and God Himself will be with them as their God.

"'He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, 

and there will be no more death

or mourning or crying or pain,

for the former things have
passed away.'” 

- Revelation 21:1-4 English Standard Version

Here is a vision of the new creation. 

This is the “restitution of all things” to which Peter refers in Act_3:21, and the deliverance of creation from the bondage of corruption which Paul anticipates in Rom_8:21.

 

No words can portray in positive description what that universe will be, and even the inspired writer has to confine himself to negatives. 

All he does is to name various elements of terror and dread, saying: This shall not be there, nor that, nor the other, all of which are the fell brood of human sin. 

The one great positive blessing will be that which was given to Israel in type, but then will be the perpetual experience of the human family.

Let us see to it that here and now the Lord Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the A and Z of our life. 

If so, we may even in this mortal life begin to experience the life of the redeemed. 

We may now inherit all these things, and know the intimacy of Revelation 21:7. 

But we must overcome. 

Note that the fearful, that is, the cowardly, who draw back in the face of opposition, are classed with the abominable and murderers.

For Those Tears I Died - Marsha Stevens-Pino

lyrics

You said you'd come and share all my sorrows,

You said you'd be there for all my tomorrows,

I came so close to sending you away

But just like you promised, you came here to stay,

I just had to pray

And Jesus said come to the water, stand by my side

I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied

I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried

And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died

Your goodness so great I can't understand

And dear Lord I know, that all this was planned

I know you're here now, and always will be

Your love loosed my chains and in you I'm free

But Jesus why me?

And Jesus said come to the water, stand by my side

I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied

I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried

And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died

Jesus I give you my heart and my soul

I know that without God I'd never be whole

Saviour you opened all the right doors

And I thank you and praise you from earth's humble shores

Take me I'm yours

And Jesus said come to the water, stand by my side

I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied

I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried

And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died

And Jesus said come to the water, stand by my side

I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied

I felt every teardrop when in darkness you cried

And I strove to remind you that for those tears I died.

for those tears I died.

A teardrop on earth summons the King of Heaven - God takes special notice of those tears of yours. In some mysterious way, our complex inner-communication system knows when to admit its verbal limitations . . . and the tears come. Most often they appear when our soul is overwhelmed with feelings that words cannot describe. Our tears may flow during the singing of a great, majestic hymn or when we are alone, lost in some vivid memory or wrestling in prayer. Eyes that flashed and sparkled only moments before are flooded from a secret reservoir. We try in vain to restrain the flow, but even strong men falter. The Lord takes note of our inner friction when hard times are oiled by tears - He enters them into the record He keeps on our lives

You were made to live and establish your faith in the valley - when I take you to the mountain to see and experience my glory, it is for your encouragement and inspiration, but you’ll not be able to remain there. Spiritual selfishness can drive you to desire only those times on the mountain. Beware of living for the next spiritual high; discover me and all I have for you in the valley. Life is not about avoiding pain or crisis; it’s about appropriating my grace in every circumstance of life. Drink from my spring in the valley so that you can be my voice on the mountain. Faith lived out in the ordinary mundane days of life is the reality that speaks to others who have yet to discover me and my love

A Time to Mourn and a Time to Dance - there is a God-appointed time, place, and purpose for every moment and that the Lord is ultimately in control of them all. Mourning is the natural process of working through the heartache that follows a significant loss. It is part of the human experience. Life is not only rejoicing and laughter. God uses mourning to produce healing. In the kingdom of God, those who mourn are blessed because they are destined to dance and celebrate at the marriage supper of the Lamb. They have had their hearts broken by their own sin and the depths of this world’s suffering. Yet they will receive God’s comfort and live with joy forever in the Lord’s presence
