The City

And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 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: 2-4 ESV
Some days this vision of the future looks even better than others.  When we look around and see devastated cites, hear cries of anger and pain, and feel hopeless in it's presence, we long even more for the beautiful city, with no crying or pain, and the sense that all is well, and will be forever.  May that certainty fill our hearts with hope and purpose today.
