you. these eternal fountains by William
Nicholson 1862 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
chapter 7 verse 17 God will wipe away every tear from their eyes
Numerous are the sources of sorrow here on earth, but God will dry
them all up in heaven. There'll be no mourning Christian
to drop tears there, for all sorrow and sighing shall flee
away. There is nothing in that happy
residence to distress or annoy. Jeremiah will utter no plaintive
language there. Transgressors will grieve the
holy no more. Bartimaeus is the poor blind
beggar no more. Lazarus's sores have been replaced
by immortal beauty. The weeping widow is no longer
crushed to the dust by the heavy hand of poverty. The orphan child
is no longer forsaken and homeless. Pinching poverty and wasting
disease are unknown. The distressing complaint will
never accost the ear, I am sick. The sting of death and the terrors
of the grave will never present themselves there. There are no
graves in the land of eternal life. There is no death of friends
there. Martha and Mary go to no beloved's
grave to weep. Yonder there is no deceitful
heart, no secret foe, no fascinating world, no artful Satan. The former things have passed
away and the era of immortality has arrived. God shall give them
everything calculated to secure, continue, and increase their
happiness. He will lead them to springs
of living water which shall never be exhausted. A spring is termed
living water because it is constantly bubbling up and running on. These springs of living water
indicate endless sources of happiness which Christ will supply to his
redeemed people from his own infinite plenitude. These eternal
fountains will make an infinite variety for the enjoyments of
the blessed. There will be no sameness and
therefore no weariness to the spirit. Every moment will open
up a new source of pleasure. And as God is infinite, so his
attributes are infinite. And throughout infinity, more
and more of those attributes will be unveiled, and the discovery
of each will be a new fountain of enjoyment. These sources will
be ever-opening through all eternity. And yet, through all eternity,
there will still remain in the absolute perfections of the Godhead
an infinity of them still to be opened. Such bliss is enough
to make the Christian say, I desire to depart and be with Christ,
which is better by far. Philippians chapter 1 verse 23. you
