GOD WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR / REVELATION 7:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 7:17

For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

God Will Wipe Away Every Tear: Finding Comfort in Revelation 7:17

Life on Earth is often marked by sorrow. We experience the deep ache of grief, the heavy weight of regret, and the sting of painful memories. But scripture gives us a beautiful anchor of hope to hold onto during our darkest moments.

In Revelation 7:17, we are given a breathtaking glimpse of our eternal home:

“For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.“

The Perfect Absence of Sorrow

This beautiful promise means so much more than just a handkerchief for a crying child. In eternity, God isn’t simply drying our cheeks after a good cry—He is removing the very source of our weeping.

As the preceding verse reminds us, “Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them, nor any scorching heat” (Revelation 7:16). In heaven, nothing that involves deficiency, suffering, or sorrow remains.

Many theologians believe this promise may refer to the removal of any memory that might cause us suffering, regret, or remorse. The mistakes that haunt us today, the broken relationships that grieve us, and the pain of what “could have been” will have no power over us. God will perfectly heal our minds and hearts, leaving absolutely no room for trauma or sadness.

Led by the Shepherd

We don’t have to wait until eternity to know this comfort. The same Lamb who sits on the throne is our Shepherd today. He walks with us through the valley of the shadow of death, intimately acquainted with our grief.

If you are carrying a heavy heart today, take comfort in knowing that your tears are not invisible to God. He numbers them now, and one day very soon, He will wipe them away forever.

🏔️ A Closing Prayer

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the beautiful promise of Revelation 7:17. In a world filled with so much pain, loss, and regret, our hearts find rest knowing that this brokenness is temporary. Thank You that a day is coming where hunger, thirst, and sorrow will be no more.

Lord, for anyone reading this who is carrying the heavy burden of painful memories or deep remorse, I pray for Your supernatural peace to guard their hearts right now. Thank You that You are a gentle Shepherd, leading us toward living waters.

We look forward to the day when You will personally wipe away every tear from our eyes, and when all our suffering will be swallowed up in Your eternal joy. Strengthen our faith as we wait for that glorious day.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
