A small child can go from tears to laughter, or vice versa, in moments. Adults, however, need much more to move from sadness to joy than a funny face on a parent, soothing words, or a favorite toy. We want real comfort, and even healing, when we are suffering. We want someone to lift the burden of our pain and to take away our tears.
Luke 6:21 says, “Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.” God is giving those who believe in Jesus Christ a promise for our current suffering and a promise to end all pain and tears in the future. When we are suffering now, the God of all comfort promises to bring us comfort when and where we need it. He understands our pain and is eager to provide healing. God also promises to remove all tears and pain when we arrive in Heaven and come into His presence.
We all face suffering at various times. The only sure and effective comfort comes from God. Why not turn your pain over to God and experience His comfort?
