Crying

Crying. It was a late night last night and our little guy fell asleep at the dance recital. When he woke up as we were leaving he got to crying and every little thing stoked the tears. We finally got in the car and started driving home and he fell back asleep. Every parent that I passed carrying a sleeping little one seemed to understand the problem.

We cry when we are hurt. We cry when we are sad. And we cry when we are happy. It’s part of the emotional package that God gave us. For some of us, our days of crying will cease to exist. “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4.

But for others, crying will be a part of the emotions they will experience for all of eternity. “I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." - Matthew 8:11-12.

The Bible tells of two place that man will spend eternity: heaven or hell. In one place there will be no more tears as God will wipe away every one of them. The second place will be a place of weeping and utter darkness. We all have a decision to make in regards to where we spend our eternity. Accepting Christ will lead to eternal life. Rejecting Christ will lead to eternal suffering. Your choice.

Have a great day and God bless.
