GOD WILL WIPE AWAY YOUR TEARS

Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted”

You might be going through a path of dejection and affliction. You might have no one in your life to comfort you and you might feel so lonely in this suffering. My dear young friend, God promises you today that you will be comforted and your days of sorrow and mourning will come to an end. (Isaiah 60:20)

God Himself will wipe away your tears and will comfort you by giving you the blessings, peace and joy that you long for. 

If we read I Samuel 1:10, it says like this: “And she (Hannah) was in bitterness of soul and prayed to the Lord and wept sore.” Hannah’s life was filled with bitterness and tears as she was barren. But as she cried to the Lord, He heard her prayers and wiped away her tears by giving her a child who later became a prophet of God.

If we read Luke 7:12-15, we can know that a widow woman was crying badly as her only son has died. Jesus saw her tears and had compassion on her and brought back her son to life through His power. He wiped the tears of that widow by giving her back the blessing she lost.

God will remove all your agony and sufferings and He will comfort you. God said in Isaiah 51:12, “I, even I, am he that comforts you...” Whatever be the path of pain and suffering you might going through now, God will be your comfort and He will put an end to your sorrow.

I know a man who works in the same place where I am working. He was a Christian guy and followed God diligently. But there was a time at his young age he fallen in love with a girl who belongs to other religion and decided to marry her. As they decided to marry both their families had cast them away. They started their marriage life with no one to guide and help them. But the man had faith in Jesus and he kept on praying to Him for his all needs. God touched the life of that girl too and she also begun to follow Jesus Christ most diligently.

Six months into her pregnancy a great tragedy struck them that the fluid level in her womb reached a drastic low level which endangers the life of the child inside. They both looked to God with all their heart. But she went through lot of tears and suffering. As they shed their tears in the presence of God, He spoke through one of His servant saying “There will be pain and suffering but yet you will give birth to a child in a normal delivery.”

As God spoke to them, a male baby was born to them in a normal delivery. But there arise another problem in mother feeding. As the mother could not able to feed her baby with mother’s milk the child started to grow weak without any immunity power at all. So once in every fifteen days he will get fever and cold. They could not able to treat him as a normal child. They took him to a hospital for a check up and the doctors diagnosed him as a heart patient having a hole in the ventricular portion of the heart.

Doctors decided to do a surgery after some years. Again the parents who were filled with so much agony and pain shed their tears to God as there was no one to comfort them. God heard their prayers and as they attended a prayer meeting and at the stage of final individual prayer as the servant of God laid hands on the mother of the child, God spoke through him saying “I will wipe away all your tears” and as he laid his hands on the child, God spoke through him saying “He is healed right now.”

The particular servant of God knows nothing about the pain and suffering of the family but God knows their suffering and spoke through him. Soon they went for another scan and this time doctors reported that there was no hole and no problem at any parts of his body. It is God who did the healing in the life of the child and through the healing He wiped away the tears of the child’s parents and filled them with His peace and joy.

God can do the same to you today. As He promised in John 16:20 your sorrow will be turned to joy. He will wipe away your tears and fill your life with His peace and joy. Do not get discouraged my dear young friend. Jesus Christ is there to comfort you. Pour out your heart to Him. He is a God who hears your prayers and He will answer your prayers. He will not put you to shame for you are His child and the creation of His own hand. Surely He will wipe away your tears. Blessed are you that mourn, you will be comforted by God.
