"'And you shall never have pain, nor any manner of sickness, nor any manner of displeasure....but ever joy and bliss without end.'"
Julisan of Norwich
"'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!'"
Revelation 21:4-5
Everything is going to be alright. We will smile again. We will be hopeful again. We will feel like ourselves again. We will feel warmth and joy again. We will laugh again. Somehow God will make everything alright. He will make right everything that has gone wrong. He rose from the dead, making death work backwards! If He can do that, He can make any sorrow, any hurt, any pain, any trauma go backward into health, healing, wholeness, and beauty. He is already doing this right now on earth, and it will come about in fullness in heaven. He is going to make everything well, from the great things right down to the small things. He is going to do this for every person. Noone and nothing will be forgotten. He will even make things better than they were before our suffering happened, with everything fresh and new. Things will be even better than we can possibly imagine! We will be reunited with loved ones. We will be smiling and singing and never sad again, never in pain again! We will see His face and be enveloped in His love that heals all hurts and fills everything with joy and light! We will celebrate and rejoice forever! And all will be well!
A Thought: In Christ I am already joyful and whole in the eternal realm, and all is well. And one day I will fully experience that eternal realm, and all will be well!
