God does not wipe away memories.
He wipes away bitterness;
He wipes it away with
unsurpassable joy!
Redemption
Redemption is not taking away the pain as though nothing bad has ever happened. It is not like recommending amnesia to one who has suffered a broken heart.
Rather, it is giving value to our pain, healing us and making good out of the bad, such that things become way better and much more beautiful than we ever expected them to be!
The Most Glorious Beauty of All
Only things of real beauty remain.
In the face of glorious brightness,
all passing darkness fade away,
all lesser lights bow down,
to make way for the brightest light of all.
God’s Grace penetrates all passing shadows
all our little troubles
and all the little riches we strive for.
Only His light matters,
and once the Light of that beauty shines through,
we forget all else,
and we gain everything
that’s worth living for.
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
