What a Cluster of Sweet Hopes, by Octavius Winslow. The following contains an excerpt from his work, “Evening Thoughts”.
“God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.” — Revelation 21:4
What a cluster of sweet hopes is here. What a collection of bright beams throwing their splendor over that cloudless day. Heaven will be a state of perfect freedom from all sorrow.
“God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
Child of sorrow.
Sick ones dear to Christ.
Bereaved mourners.
Hear these precious words, and let music break from your lips. God will wipe away your tears. As the mother comforts her sorrowing child, so God will comfort His. Yes, child of grief, there will be no more weeping then. Oh, ecstatic thought.
“And there shall be no more death.”
No more rending asunder of affection’s close and tender ties.
No more separations from the hearts we love.
Mourners no more go about the streets.
For death is now swallowed up in victory.
“Neither sorrow, nor crying.”
Grief cannot find existence or place in an atmosphere of such bliss.
No frustrated plans,
no bitter disappointments,
no withered hopes,
no corroding cares,
mingle with that deep sea of bliss, now pouring its tide of joyfulness over the soul.
“Neither shall there be any more pain.”
Children of suffering, hear this. There will be no more pain racking the frame, torturing the limbs, and sending its influence through the system until every nerve and fiber quivers with an indescribable agony.
Heaven will be a state of perfect freedom from all SINS. Ah. this will be the brightest and sweetest of all the joys of Heaven.
The Canaanite will no more dwell in the land.
Inbred corruption will be done away.
The conflict within us will have ceased.
No evil heart will betray us into inconsistencies and sorrows.
Not a cloud of guilt will tarnish the unsullied purity of the soul.
You holy hearts, mourning over indwelling and outbreaking sin, soon you will be free from sin completely and forever.
Psalm 17:15, “I will see Your face in righteousness. When I awake, I will be satisfied with Your presence.” This is Heaven indeed.
