Are you tired of the news? Does it wear you down hearing about the evil people commit against one another? Are you weary of the foolishness you see people do? Do wish people would choose to do the right thing? Are you looking forward to a perfect eternity with God?
It seems all we hear is bad news. People committing crimes against one another. People pointing fingers at one another. People doing foolish things that harm themselves or others. We hear about people struggling with one thing or another. And it gets us down.
God has promised us a perfect eternity with him. There will be nothing bad. There will be no evil. Everyone will do the right thing. Everyone will love God and one another. Everything will be done based on that love. Everyone will worship God and care for one another. God will be in our midst. We will see him face-to-face.
Being in the presence of God will be awe inspiring. We will seek to please him in everything we do. Our love for him and one another will drive every action and every word we speak. There will be no more doubt but a confidence that God is ruling. There will be no more fear and sadness, only joy. There will be no more pain but healthy bodies and minds. Our spirits will be continually in sync with the Holy Spirit.
Living with fear, sadness, pain, evil in this world is difficult. There are days we simply want to give up. But we can hold on to the promise of God that there will come a day when everything will be perfect. We can trust in his promise. We can rely on the Holy Spirit to guide us through the hardships of this life.
I pray we all trust in God’s promises. I pray we know eternity will be perfect. I pray each one of us will follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help us through the hardships of this life. Trust God’s promises. Know that perfection is coming. Know that eternal joy will be yours. Follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
Revelation 22:3-4 Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
