Christians dont need to live like losers in some vast cosmic dice game. Christians are never victims; in fact, Christians need never be either pessimistic or optimistic, as though somehoow their ultimate destiny were stil in doubt. For a Christian, the truly bilical virtue is hopefulness because our hope is secure in the promises of Jesus Christ.

Then why, tell me why do we cry? Because it is right to cry. But only let yourself cry in the anticipation of that glorious day, when God himself shall wipe away all tears from my eyes, and there will be no more sorrow, neither there shall be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Now, who wouldnt want to have a tear, one trembling tear, to fall when God Himself will wipe them all away?

Take heart.
