Only Light

Isaiah 35:10
Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return. They will enter Jerusalem singing,
crowned with everlasting joy. Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be filled with joy and gladness.

What an exciting time to think about the Lord's return. A few verses before in verse eight, the Bible refers to a highway that will be called the "Way of Holiness." Only those that know God will journey on it. No unclean or wicked person will travel on it, only those that live for God.

I've come to realize that life has lots of hurts and sorrows. If we had not gone through the things we do, then there would be nothing to looking forward to in Heaven. We have no idea the things God has for us in Heaven. Just the fact that God's presence dwells there is awesome enough. No more sorrow, no more pain. We have to realize that life is short and we will suffer if you believe in Christ. But every pain, every tear, every hardship doesn't go unnoticed to God. He has a blessing waiting for us on the other side when we stay faithful no matter what the circumstances.

If you are a Christian, you have so much to look forward too. Heaven will be a place filled with God's presence. There will be no need for the sun because God's presence will fill the entire place. There will be no shadows, no darkness, only light. We will be singing praises and spending time with loved ones and friends and most importantly, with our Savior Jesus Christ.
