"And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."
Revelation 7:13-17
I like the question and answer series here, and how it calls attention to those that have suffered and will suffer no longer. We understandably get caught up in our mortal challenges and suffering sometimes, and it can feel like God isn't listening. He always is though, and if we accept his help and his love, and stand clean before him at the last day, he will banish all of our sadness and suffering completely and permanently.
Today, let's trust in that future day, remembering that nothing that we suffer is permanent, and that God will help us in due time as we remain faithful and learn from our experiences.
