The name of my blog is based on Romans 12:1 and 2 from the Bible. I still love the way these verses are worded in the King James Version, which say, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Wouldn’t we all like to know what God’s perfect will is?)

And so, I will be sharing truths I have learned, and am learning, on my journey through life on this earth while it is in a “fallen” condition; but also, I want to encourage and remind some of you of some exciting verses from the last chapters of the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

Although things are “not the way they are supposed to be” right now, Revelation 21:1, and 3-5 tells us that before long (if we are a born-again child of God), we will be experiencing “a new heaven and a new earth” and we will see that “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.

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. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.”

That should make us all very excited, but especially those of you, who like me, have experienced a lot of sorrow in this life. Just think, no more tears, ever….!
