You can look forward to the new heaven and earth that I have promised.

2 Peter 3:13 New International Version (NIV)

13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

We have something really big to look forward to! ... A new heaven and a new earth! If that is not cause for celebration, I don't know what is! All of the reminders of a fallen world will be gone and we will have the privilege of enjoying an untainted new residence for all of eternity! No matter how difficult our circumstances become, we can hold onto the promise of eternal life. 

In Jeremiah 29:11, God promises a hope and a future to all who belong to Him. The next time you turn on the television and watch the news, don't lose heart! There is a time coming when our God and Father will make a new heaven and a new earth for us! How amazing will that day be for all those who are in Christ! He is a good Father and He keeps all of His promises!
