Thurs Devo: No More Tears

I’ve mentioned before that we’ve been keeping a couple foster siblings some weekends. Well, before they came to our house for the 5th weekend, the oldest told his foster mom he didn’t want to come and that he would cry for 2 hours. She told him he could cry for 2 hours, but he was going. I didn’t know all this, but at the end of the weekend as I was bundling the boy before getting in the car, he announced to me that he didn’t cry all weekend! No, he didn’t. Maybe he won’t cry most weekends going forward, either!
We aren’t guaranteed a tear-free life on this earth, but in heaven, God will wipe away every tear from the faces of His followers!
Rev 7:13-17   13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore,
“they are before the throne of God
    and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
    will shelter them with his presence.
16 ‘Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,’
    nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’
    ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”


Besides no more tears, what else do you find encouraging or note-worthy from this passage?
