As though it had never been!



By, Octavius Winslow



”I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us!” Romans 8:18



Beloved, soon, O how soon! All that now loads your heart with care, and wrings it with sorrow–all that dims your eye with tears, and renders the day anxious and the night sleepless–will be as though it had never been!



Emerging from the entanglement, the dreariness, the solitude, the loneliness, and the temptations of the wilderness–you shall enter upon your everlasting rest, your unfading inheritance, where there is . . .
 no sorrow, 
 no sin,
 no suffering,
 no crying,
 no evening shadows,
 no midnight darkness!
But all is one perfect, cloudless, eternal day–for Jesus is the joy, the light, and the glory thereof!



”And so we will be with the Lord forever!” 1 Thessalonians 4:17



“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away!” Revelation 21:4
