THE SPECIAL CARE GIVEN TO THOSE AROUND THE THRONE OF GOD MAGNETIZES ME TO IT.
 
Notice the loving care they receive.  They continually stay in God’s presence.  "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 spread his tent over them."    (Revelation 7:15 NIV)  They will never again experience separation from the presence of God.

God protects them from pain and suffering.  "Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat upon them, nor any scorching heat."    (Revelation 7:16 NIV)  This life is full of pain and suffering.  People around the world are in pain and suffering today.  The beloved will spend eternity in God’s presence where there will be no pain and suffering.

God wipes away their tears.  "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."    (Revelation 7:17 NIV)  There will be no crying around the throne; just joy unspeakable and full of glory!

There is so much about God’s presence and spending time with Him for all eternity that I don’t understand or comprehend, but I know one thing – I want to be a part of the great multitude wearing white robes.  I want to be found in this beautiful picture painted for us in God’s Word.  Only now on this earth are we given opportunity to wash our robes.

Know that you are loved,
