“It’s the moment when humanity is overcome by Majesty. When grace is ushered in for good, and all the scars are understood. When mercy takes its rightful place, and all these questions fade away. When out of weakness we must bow, to hear You say, ‘It’s over now’.”
Comforting words from Mercy Me’s new song, The Hurt & The Healer.
I long for that day! When all my whys will be answered and my faith will have eyes. I will see how Jesus led me all the way, how He tended and cared for me with such compassion. Reminds me of some other words from Revelation. “He will wipe every tear from their eyes.” Imagine Jesus personally wiping our tears away. “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” Powerful words.
I know there are others out there who have lost loved ones and their perception of this life has changed. We know our real home is Heaven. We are still here on earth, so as long as we are alive, we have a purpose, but our goal is to fulfill that purpose and go Home. Everything that happens to us in this life is preparing us for the next. As Billy Graham has said, “The present seems so real; the unseen future seems so illusory. But in reality the opposite is true.”
Fix our eyes on Jesus.
