What about sadness in heaven? If you are anything like me, you feel like “there is no sadness in heaven” was pretty much drilled into your head throughout the years. Of course, we want to encourage ourselves and others, so we grab onto one verse in particular that promises this:

“And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the former order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:4 NIV)

So I was a bit confused as to why God seemed sad when He sent me back here to do more work. I concluded that He wants all of His children with Him (as a Mama and Nana, I get this). BUT…what about that verse?! LOL.
