1 Peter 1:6-7
6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.

The Apostle Peter writes that believers have gifts stored in Heaven where moths can not get to them nor can dust settle upon them. It is because of this that we 'greatly rejoice.' In the midst of our rejoicing, alas; "for a season...we are in heaviness through manifold temptations." In other words, we're enduring some set backs and situations that weigh heavy on our hearts. Be encouraged, family, trials only come to purify our faith. Peter says that gold is purified by fire, but it still perishes. The purified faith of a believer never fades away. It will last until the appearing of Jesus Christ, where Jesus Himself with praise and honor us. That's reason enough to hold on.

Revelation 21:4
4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

God has a place for all of His Kingdom. He allows ministers to perform certain tasks while Angels cover others. Some things, however, are set aside for Him. Angels will not pass you a tissue, neither will Ministers preach a sermon of renewed hope on that day. Instead, God Himself will personally hold us one by one and wipe away all the tears we have ever shed. Never send an Angel to perform the love of a Father.
