VERSE:
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe
away every tear from their eyes.
-- Revelation 7:17

THOUGHT:
What a beautiful picture! The One who died for us will nourish
and refresh us. The One upon whom all eternity hinges will take
time to personally comfort us. No wonder Paul could say that he did
not consider his present sufferings worth comparing to the glory
that would be revealed to us! (Romans 8:18)

PRAYER:
Father God and Sovereign Lord of all Creation, thank you for
your incredible love for me. While I know I don't deserve your
overwhelming and generous grace, I rejoice in it. While I know my
best attempts at honoring you fall short, thank you for promising
to welcome me into your presence, care for me, and comfort me when
I come home to you. Your love, O Lord, is beyond my comprehension
and exhausts my appreciation while filling my heart with wonder and
praise. In Jesus' name I praise you. Amen.
