Happily Ever After

Good morning, blessed children of God!

More than once I have shared how much I enjoy reading, and of course, I am a sucker for a happy ending.  Nothing upsets me more than getting to the end of a book and learning that the young couple in love never married, or worse, someone I was rooting for died.  I have been known to never read another book by any author who kills off courageous and brave characters or doesn't give them a happily ever after. 

I can hear some of you thinking, "Yenise, that's part of life; it's not realistic to think that everyone gets a merry and blissful forever!"

You are sort of right.

At the very end of the Holy Bible it says, "...God's home is now among His people! He will live with them, and He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.  All these things are gone forever" (Revelation 21:3-4).

Those of us who love and trust Christ will eventually get our happily ever after!

This is why I love the Bible.  There's a lot of scripture that deals with evil, death, injustice, and sin, but its pages contain the happiest ending of all.

My kind of book!

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Thank You that the moment is coming when we will live side by side with You. You Yourself will wipe away our tears, and we will never be sad again.  Looking forward to it.  In the meantime, we need Your help on this earth.  Fill us with Your goodness.  Protect us and bless our great nation.  In Jesus' name, AMEN!
