2 Corinthians 1:3-4
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
Oh how do we love to read verse 3 and the first part of verse 4. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles”. We often skip right over the rest of it, “so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
When we do read the last part, we apply it to our loved ones. We may even stretch it out to our friends, however, there we stop most of the time. Oh, we may stretch ourselves a little farther by donating some money, perhaps even a little time to some charity. I know how many people pay lip service on social media! But do we go any farther?
Do you see that person in the corner crying and go over to just be with them? Do you offer to get some groceries for that man on the corner and ask him what does he really need? Do you stop and pray with that person, God just nudged you to talk to?
There are many people around you today that need comfort. Are your eyes and ears open? Is your heart open? God is calling you to comfort those in any
trouble. He has given you comfort now pass it on!
Lord, send me someone I can pass your comfort on to today. ~amen
