Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
[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 blessing ahead is enough to give the child of God “joy unspeakable and full of glory”.
God will be present with His people. This makes me homesick.
He gave us His Son - Jn 3:16; He gave us His Spirit - Luke 11:13. Now in a very literal way, He gives us himself! This makes me lose interest in this world.
We will be blessed by the absence of grief, sadness, tears, separation, sorrow, and suffering.
The awesome beauty of that place will leave us breathless.
What a day that will be!

“There is com-ing a day when no heart--aches shall come. — No more clouds in the sky, — no more tears to dim the eye. — All is peace for-ev-er-more — 0n that hap-py gold-en shore. — What a day, glo-ri-ous day that will be!
Chorus
“What a day that will be — when my Je-sus I shall see, — And I look up-on His face — the One who saved me by His grace. — When He takes me by the hand — and leads me thro' the Prom-ised Land; — What a day, glo-ri-ous day that will be!
“There'll be no sor-row there, — no more bur—dens to bear, — No more sick-ness, no pain, — no more part-ing o-ver there. — And for-ev-er I will be — with the One who died for me. — What a day, glo-ri-ous day that will be!”
