How is it possible to become a joyful person in a pain-filled world? Look at the promise that comes right near the very end of the Bible:
"Let us rejoice and exult
and give Him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and His bride has made herself ready." (Revelation 19:7)
Heaven's groom gets the bride.
The joy that is in store for God's people is so great that the only image that can do it justice is the joy between a lover and his beloved. Then we will see the wedding of which the greatest weddings on this earth have only been a dim foreshadowing.
Then God will dance with His people. Then joy will reign undiminished and uninterrupted.
-- John Ortberg in “The Life You've Always Wanted”
