God’s Promise to Our Pain

People respond in different ways to pain, but God’s people find their solace in Him. Today, R.C. Sproul recalls the promise that God gives to His children in times of suffering and sorrow.

It’s funny how differently we respond to pain and the sorrow and the tragedy. For some of us, if we lose a loved one or experience a painful loss, it makes us bitter and angry towards God. But for others, in the midst of that pain, we are driven to our knees and to rush to the presence of God to seek the solace, the consolation, and the comfort that He is prepared to give to His people. Remember the promise of God to His people. That on the last day, He will personally dry the tears from our eyes. And when God dries our tears, they stay dry.
