There isn’t a person who has come far in the journey unscathed by the troubles of life. Many bear the scars on their heart, in their mind, and in their body.
It’s good to know that the trials of life can’t follow us to our eternal home.
When we leave this world, whether it be by the rapture or the graveyard, there are some things that can’t go with us. No more tears. No more death. No more sorrow. No more pain.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Just the knowledge that there is a place of endless glory and blessings ahead is enough to give the child of God “joy unspeakable and full of glory”.

“I'm kind of homesick for a country — To which I've never been before. — No sad goodbyes will there be spoken — For time won't matter anymore.
“Beulah Land, I'm longing for you — And some day on thee I'll stand. — There my home shall be eternal. — Beulah Land — Sweet Beulah Land.
“I'm looking now across the river — Where my faith will end in sight. — There's just a few more days to labor, — Then I’ll take my heavenly flight.
“Beulah Land, I'm longing for you — And some day on thee I'll stand. — There my home shall be eternal. — Beulah Land — Sweet Beulah Land.”
