We expect God to solve all our problems....

...(cont. from title) ... God's not gonna solve all your problems, but for those who overcome, He will wipe away every drop of your tears from your eyes.


This is the message we get from Revelation 7 (part excerpt below):


13 Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes —who are they, and where did they come from?"
14 I answered, "Sir, you know."
And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation (one by one, individually, through dying from the suffering); they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore,
"they are before the throne of God
    and serve him day and night in his temple;
and he who sits on the throne
    will shelter them with his presence.
16 'Never again will they hunger;
    never again will they thirst.
The sun will not beat down on them,'[a]
    nor any scorching heat.
17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne
    will be their shepherd;
'he will lead them to springs of living water.'[b]
    'And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.'[c]"


what the Christ follower reads from this is -- God's wiping away of our every tear from each of us is conditioned on the working out of our faith -- We gotta conquer and overcome first.

death somehow reveals the real faith or real character of if we are Christian or not...

... and perhaps some of you who are reading this right now... are going through exactly the great tribulation, and I praise God for letting you see what I've written/blogged down, I was thinking of you as I blogged this. Stand strong now, in God and do not falter. Look forward to the joy before you as Jesus had and apostle John did. See God's throne and the colourful rainbow that surrounds it, and the perfectly calm sea without a ripple filled with God's peace. Endure this so that you don't have to give up that! May God keep your name in the Book of Life in His mercy and grace, may He keep mine too, and hope we can meet each other in heaven. =)
