"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 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 21:1-4

I can't help but often times dwell on the hope of things to come. For the day when we shall see Christ face to face; when all Christians will be unified under his authority, and we will all be brothers and sisters, not as we are now, but as we should be; when all wrongs shall be forgiven, one to another, and we will love each other as we are. Not for the benefits or usefulness we gain from one another, but wholly and truly; when all tensions and bitternesses have completely passed out of memory, and everyone can live together in the perfect peace of God. I hunger and thirst for that day.

Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
