Passing through the valley of weeping(John MacDuff, "A Book for the Bereaved")"Passing through the valley of weeping."Psalm 84:6Child of God! There is not one drop of wrathin the troublous cup you are now drinking!He took all that was bitter out of it, and leftit a cup of love! God deals tenderly, wisely,and lovingly with His children.In a little while the night of weeping will beover, and a gentle hand in a tearless worldwill dry up the very source of tears! Everyday is bringing you nearer that blissful reality--nearer to Him who is now standing with thehoarded treasures of eternity in His hand, andthe hoarded love of eternity in His heart!How will one brief moment there, banish all thepangs and sorrows of the valley of weeping, toeverlasting oblivion!"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning!" Psalm 30:5"He will wipe all tears from their eyes--and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain! These things of the past are gone forever!" Revelation 21:4
Thank you for this Heartsong! It seems to be a season of many hardships for many people, and I would like to pass this on to some of them.Often times as humans we would like for this earth to be more like heaven, but Jesus said, "In this world you will have tribulation." Now we have the hope of heaven, that place where God will wipe every tear from their eye...Thank you so much for that reminder.Amen!Lori
