I would not want to try to seek comfort from such a tragedy in anything human. Humans fails us, but God is the perfect comforter.

comfortBible Passage: 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I am on the mailing list of a gentleman named Gailyn Van Rheenen. This morning he sent that list an email. The subject of that email was “unspeakable sorrow.” The email was sent at 3:58 a.m. and concerned his son who had suddenly died a few hours earlier in a traffic accident. He died immediately in the sleeper of an 18 wheeler when his truck ran into the back of another truck with his co-driver driving. I begin to weep any time I read Gailyn Van Rheenen’s words, “We feel unspeakable pain. A father is to die before his son.”

How will Gailyn Van Rheenen and his wife be comforted? I know that because of God, and because of their faith in Him, they will receive comfort. God will use times of solitiude to help this family. God will use helpful words and hugs of humans to comfort this family. And God will use time and distance to help Gailyn Van Rheenen and his wife Becky during this time of unspeakable sorrow.

The Apostle Paul wrote, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our afflictions so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” – 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.

God will help us through terribly difficult times. My hope is that each day, more and more people will come to know our Heavenly Father personally, and then, experience his comfroting love.

flashdance 4Bible Passage: Romans 5:2-5

“When you give up your dream you die.” This quote is from the Nick Hurley character in the movie Flashdance. A lot of people live by movie quotes. If one must do that, I think this quote is as good as they come. I believe having a dream and the idea of hope are quite similar. If my assumption is correct, then Paul wrote about this concept in his letter to the Romans, specifically in chapter 5.

“And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.” – Romans 5:2b-5

A lot of people give up their dreams because of suffering endured while trying to attain them. If one keeps on pursing dreams despite the many problems that come along with them, one will gain endurance or character and then there will be hope. Paul says, this hope “does not disappoint us.” It is almost like a circle. If you have hope, some suffering will come, but then the end result is more hope. Paul is speaking of our entry into Heaven. The letter to the Romans is full of hope for a future with God although we must suffer at times. Although Paul was speaking of Heaven, this is easily translated to everyday life. If our dream is to do something that is within the character of God, something that does not go against any of his teaching, keep on believing and striving despite minor or even major setbacks. Never give up!

I wouldn’t suggest anyone struggling with lust, watch the film Flashdance, but not giving up on your dreams, that, I whole heartedly endorse.

We sometimes make others cry in return. But Christians have a place where there will be no more tears, that place is heaven.

cloudsBible Passage: Revelation 21 (especially verse 4)

As I stated in one of the earlier Devotional Tidbits, I would use the movie Say Anything as an illustration in these devotionals more than once. Well, here is number two. Near the beginning of the movie the female love interest, Diane Court gives her valedictorian address. In her speech, she states, “I have seen the future, and all I can say is … go back.”

Her father loves that line, but most everyone else seems lost by her words. She declared that day, a truth common to most people graduating. It doesn’t matter if that graduation is from high school or college. There is a fear about the future. There are so many insecurities in our unstable world. After the events of September 11, 2001, uncertainty is one of the certainties we must now cope with.

Christians should have a more stable outlook on life, shouldn’t we? We are given so many assurances in God’s word about our future. Today I want to look at a glimpse of heaven. John was given a first hand glance of heaven, he then wrote down his experience for us. Revelation chapter 21 speaks to this New Jerusalem and its beauty, but I especially love the comforting words of Revelation 21:4 in referring to our living with God: 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.

Isn’t it amazing? God will wipe away every one of our tears!!! No more pain!!! Wow!!! The comfort we will receive in Heaven is seen in this proclamation of no more tears and pain. But what about happy people, those with no pain, those with no tears, what will they get from Heaven? What else will Heaven be like? Christians might not ask these questions, for we know we will be happy to be with God and praise Him. However non-Christians might want to know a little more about Heaven.

Well, this is what I say to folks who wonder what Heaven will be like. I simply tell them to think of the most wonderful delight they experience here on earth. I then tell them to multiply that feeling by ten, a hundred, even a thousand. Heaven will be even more wonderful than that, I say. My son asked me the other day if he could sleep in Heaven. I assured him that if he wanted to sleep in Heaven, that God would let him. For me, Heaven could be like watching the Cubs win the World Series each year, or like watching the Pittsburgh Steelers never losing to the New England Patriots again (sorry for the sports references for those who don’t like sports).

The main point we must understand is that Heaven is not full of suffering as we find in this world. We should look forward to a time like that. I know I look forward to any day during the week when I am not stressed out. I can hardly imagine an eternity without stress, can you? But it does exist for those of us who make Jesus our savior while we reside in this world.

May your week be blessed by knowing that future comfort of Revelation 21:4.
