Yesterday was a tough day. My mom’s cancer is progressing and we are making some difficult decisions about her care. And honestly I spent the better part of the day in tears. The hardest part for me was telling our girls about their grandma because we still live in a world with death, mourning, crying and pain are real.
I am getting ready to preach on Revelation 21 on Sunday and in this scripture it talks about a new heaven and a new earth—a place called hope and promise. I don’t know how I would make it through life without this hope and promise and I know it to be true that someday Jesus will wipe every tear from our eyes.
So let’s just talk:
- What lessons about life do you hold onto?
- How do you get your strength?
- Where do you go for words of hope, comfort and promise?
I know that many people find the Bible confusing and hard to understand. But for me on this day it reminds me who Jesus is and I can’t imagine going through this without Him in my life. People often tell me I am a crazy Christian—I am. Yet even through the tears, the pain and the mourning I know that there will be a day when all will be made new again. An important lesson for me this day about life, death and what is yet to be.
