As though it had never been!
(Octavius Winslow, "Morning Thoughts") LISTEN to Audio! Download Audio
Child of God, soon, oh, how soon! all that now loads your heart with care, and wrings it with sorrow; all that dims your eye with tears, and renders the day anxious and the night sleepless--will be as though it had never been!
Emerging from . . .
the entanglement,
the dreariness,
the solitude,
the loneliness and
the temptations
of the wilderness, you shall enter upon your everlasting rest--your unfading inheritance, where there is . . .
no sorrow,
no declension,
no sin,
no sunset,
no twilight,
no evening shadows,
no midnight darkness—
but all is one perfect, cloudless, eternal day; for Jesus is the joy, the light, and the glory thereof.
"They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away!" Isaiah 51:11
"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!" Revelation 7:17
