His Kingdom


“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 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." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” Revelation 21:1-7

What do you imagine heaven will be like?  One of the wonderful promises about heaven is that we will enjoy unbroken fellowship with God and that there will be no more death, sorrow, crying or pain.  God Himself will wipe away every tear from your eye.

If you are in a difficult season of life, know that God is your very present help in trouble right now, and the day is coming when you will be troubled no more.

God is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.  Since this is the case, He is also everything in  between.  He knows your situation and will lead you and guide you if you trust Him to do so.  Rely on your heavenly Father to give you what you need, one day at a time, and look up to His Kingdom!
