GOD’S COMFORT FOR OUR COMFORT!

“God is a merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all of our troubles so that we can comfort others.” 2 Corinthians 1:3 & 4

Our God in heaven is the source of all comfort. When we become discouraged, disappointed, or we are grieving or dealing with a painful situation of any kind, we can run to His Word for strength, healing and support. Our God provides whatever comfort it is that we need at the time. We as people are broken and are sinful. In Romans 3:23 it says, ” everyone has sinned and fallen short of God’s glorious standard.” Because of this, people do not have the same ability to provide comfort for others as God does. As we turn to God in prayer, pouring out our hearts and seeking his presence; as we read and meditate upon his scriptures to find verses of comfort, hope and understanding, we begin to feel his divine presence in our life. We begin to feel the warmth of his breath and His loving arms wrapping around us. The Holy Spirit comforts us through His assurance of our salvation. It is our Lord God’s desire that all believers in Jesus Christ experience the assurance of their salvation. He wants each of us to walk with confidence in the knowledge that we’ve been welcomed into His eternal family through Jesus, whom we have been united with through faith. As we become strong in our assurances in Christ Jesus, we are then able to display our love for Him to those around us and help them to gain insight to the comfort of our Lord God in heaven. We become His tools and His help in comforting others in this world, as we live our lives within the guidelines our Lord has set for us. Remember, he comforts us so that we can comfort others.
