New Heaven and New Earth

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared.  And the sea was also gone.  And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
 
I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, God's home is now among his people!  He will live with them, and they will be his people.  God himself will be with them.  He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.  All these things are gone forever." 
 
And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making everything new!"  And then he said to me, "Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true."  And he also said, "It is finished!  I am the Alpha and the Omega - the Beginning and the End.  To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life.  All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings and I will be their God, and they will be my children."  Revelation 21:1-7
 





God's words -- are, and will always be, our comfort and our hope.  The pain in today's world, is not the last word - God has written the final chapter.  This is our hope - the final chapter!  Looking forward to true fulfillment and eternal joy.  Eternity with God will be more wonderful than we could ever imagine.
 
Our strength comes from God alone.  It is He, who reminds us that we will have eternity with Him and will be in His presence forever!
