Tripp: treasure war

As we read in Revelation the words of the celebrants on the other side, there is not a song of lament or a hymn of regret to be found.  There is only an endless celebration of the grace of the Lamb.  Why?  Because those who sing are no longer waging a treasure war.  Their values have finally been clarified, their hearts finally purified.  They now know that every investment they made in the things of God was fully and completely worth it.  they are satisfied, not because they got everything they wanted in this life, but because God accomplished everything He promised.
