There Will Be Peace One Day

Heart heavy for the families mourning in Connecticut. Neither my mind nor my heart can fathom what a terrible loss like this would feel like. Praying for the families to have, sooner rather than later, a sense of peace that only God can give. Oh Lord, give them Your strength. Wrap them in Your arms, for You hold all hope and comfort.

Come, let us return to the Lord.
For He has torn us, but He will heal us;
He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. -Hosea 6:1


For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. -2 Corinthians 4:17

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
5 And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” And He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” -Revelation 21:1-5

One day, folks. One day.
