Daily devotional

A short, original reflection for today, paired with a public-domain Bible verse — the same for every visitor today, not random on reload.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Revelation 21:4

Today's reflection

This is a promise about an ending, written for people in the middle of a very hard chapter, not after it was already over. It does not erase what the tears were about. If you are grieving something today, this verse does not ask you to stop — it just names what grief is not the final word on.

This devotional follows a fixed, 16-day reading plan — today's reading is the same for everyone and repeats on the same cycle each year, rather than being drawn at random.
