Living with Dad

"And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.'" -Revelation 21:3-4

One day we will dwell in the house of our true Father. He promises to make His home with us, to dwell with us, to care for us to the fullest measure. Today, in our fallen and tattered state, God stoops to wipe our tears in our moment of sadness and kiss our foreheads when we need comfort, because we are His beloved children. At the beginning of eternity our Father will wipe away suffering altogether - forever. All of our wounds will be mended completely and finally; the former things will pass away. God's creation, purchased through the cross of Christ, will be restored and we will shed heartache and pain to forever commune with our loving God.
