This is the ultimate encouragement verse in my opinion. Whenever I read this verse I think about my aunt. A godly woman who was robbed of her mind and then life. The utter pain that it caused my family and all families that go through tragedy. God doesn't promise that the road is going to be easy, he just promises it will be OK in the end. God also led me to this verse when I was on a middle school retreat and saw the facades of "tough" kids crumble. There is so much pain, but he will wipe the tears from our eyes, and there will be no more sadness. AMEN!

Revelation 21:4
