Peter Marshal, who was chaplain of the U.S. Senate several years ago, had a heart attack in his home one night. He and his wife, Katherine, talked to each other and prayed while the ambulance was coming. As the paramedics were carrying him out to the ambulance, Peter said to his wife, “I’ll see you in the morning.” He died that night. As she wept over what had happened those words kept coming back to her: “I’ll see you in the morning.”
We that know the Lord knows this statement to be true. With things that have come upon us in the day, we try to sleep. We try to pray and then the dawn breaks and all is well. Or, a loved one dies and through our tears, we repeat that statement of hope, “I’ll see you in the morning.” Heaven is a wonderful place. There are not tears, no sorrow, no pain or sickness. Heaven is a totally new place for us. What makes the difference? The Lord makes the difference.
Lean on Him in your darkest hour, talking to Him, sharing your heart. Yes, weeping may endure for the night but if you know Him, joy comes in the morning.
