Sufferings...

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.
Revelations 21:4

sufferings are part of life. agreed. sometimes the sufferings in life just overwhelms us. like when a friend of mine decides to be fired up for God's kingdom, suddenly the sufferings pile on her like a wheelbarrow pouring sand on her head. it just overwhelms. but there will come a day when there will be no more tears. ohh... how i wait for that day. i dream of a day when all these sufferings will pass away and the glory of god just surrounds us, when we will return home with our battle wounds, but a great crowd will be cheering our return. then finally, the master receives us, arms open wide, the glory just surrounds, and says "well done, good and faithful servant." .....just so glorious compared to the present situation.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
