Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.
I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
As high as the sky is above the earth, so great is his love for those who respect him. He has taken our sins away from us as far as the east is from west.
This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
Call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.
God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
The Lord is close to everyone who prays to him, to all who truly pray to him.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

O Lord, You have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit or stand. When far away You know my every thought. You chart the path ahead of me, and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment, You know where I am. You know what I am going to say before I even say it. You both precede and follow me, and place Your hand of blessing on my head. This is too glorious, too wonderful to believe! I can never be lost to Your Spirit! I can never get away from my God! (Psalm 139:1-7 – The Living Bible)
Sometimes we don’t let people get to know us completely because we are afraid they will discover something about us they won’t like. But God already knows everything about us and still accepts and loves us.
God cares about us so much that He numbers the hairs on our heads (Matthew 10:30). He is with us through every situation, in every trial — protecting, loving, guiding. He knows us completely.
God is omnipresent — He is present everywhere. Because this is so, you can never be lost to His Spirit. This is good news to those who know and love God because no matter what we do or where we go, we can never be far from God’s comforting presence.
How precious it is, Lord, to realize that You are thinking about me constantly! I can’t even count how many times a day Your thoughts turn towards me. And when I waken in the morning, You are still thinking of me! (Psalm 139:17-18 – The Living Bible)
When someone you love is thinking about you all the time, it comforts you. God is concerned to keep us from failing and to catch us if we fall. If He thinks about us this much, shouldn’t we find time to think about Him each day?
Search me, O God, and know my heart; test my thoughts. Point out anything You find in me that makes You sad, and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139:23-24 – The Living Bible)
David asked God to search for sin and point it out, even to the level of testing his thoughts. This is exploratory surgery for sin. How are we to recognize sin unless God points it out? Then when God shows us, we can repent and be forgiven.
Make this verse your prayer. If you ask the Lord to search your thoughts and to reveal sin in your life, you will be on “the path of everlasting life.”
(from The Life Application Bible – Living Bible edition)

(music video below)
4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
18I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
“There Will Be a Day”
I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always
I know the journey seems so long
You feel your walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone
Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace He brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting
I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing….
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
There will be a day, He’ll wipe away the tears, He’ll wipe away the tears, He’ll wipe away the tears…..there will be a day
