Finding Hope when we're hurting





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


This life can bring heartaches and emotional scars that seems to penetrate deep within our souls. As tears stream down our faces, we wonder if this pain would ever end. For any of us who have ever lost a loved one, you know what I mean. 

We hurt so bad that we just need to have a stiff drink of something hoping our pain would be erased. We try to solve the problem ourselves without realizing that more pain will result from those misguided decisions.

As I read those words from Revelation 7:17, I'm reminded that Jesus would be our shepherd and he will lead us to springs of living water, and better yet, He will wipe every tear from our eyes.

Jesus, the master comforter to those who are afflicted. To those with so many emotional wounds, Jesus promises to heal us. He promises to bring us through the painful journey of grief and help us to one day smile and laugh again while helping you to retain the memory of the one you lost.

Jesus is the lamb of God and our living king. The greatest miracle was when Jesus rose again from the dead, forever canceling out our sin, and taking his rightful place on the throne of heaven.

He is the living King. Through the power of the holy spirit given to us, he speaks to us words of wisdom to guide us in our daily responsibilities.

He walks with us and he talks to us. All you have to do is cry out to Jesus with your pain and He will be your guide in this troublesome life.

God wants to be your Savior. Cry out to Jesus confessing your sin's and acknowledging that there is nothing you can personally do to reach Him. Instead of us reaching up to God, Jesus reaches down to us to rescue us.

Then, ask Jesus to come into your heart, to reign on the throne of your heart, to be your savior and guide you in this life.

And, one day Jesus will wipe away the tears from your eyes and help you to recover from your pain.
