Our unsaved loved ones

(J.A. James, "The Christian Father's Present to His Children" 1825)

(Be sure to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.)

Will it cause distress in Heaven, to know that our unsaved loved ones are forever lost?

The only way of solving this difficulty, is to realize that a perfect knowledge of God, and of the wisdom and justice of all His designs and operations, will constitute a chief part of the happiness of Heaven. We shall be . . .
  so convinced of the equity of His dealings towards the wicked,
  so divested of all the weakness of 'human sentimentalism',
  so absorbed in the love of what is right and just,
that the absence of our loved ones from the world of glory, will cause no interruption of our heavenly bliss!

This, I acknowledge, is now hard to conceive. The day shall reveal it. "Now we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears." 1 Corinthians 13:9-10

"After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in Heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are His judgments!" And again they shouted: "Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever!" Revelation 19:1-3
