FATHER GOD IS THE SOURCE OF ALL COMFORT
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
It is so good to remind ourselves that God is not only the Father of our Lord, but He is also our Father, the source of all mercy and comfort! Our Lord, the Creator of all compassion and mercy, in order to save us, had to give His own Son to die on the cross. How much pain must have been in His heart, when His Son was in so much torment and suffering! And Father God suffered alone, while Jesus took all the sin of mankind upon Himself, as the Father had to forsake His own beloved Son for us.
While we think of the pain that the cross brought to God the Father and His Son, we may be more aware that our Father and Lord truly understand us, while we suffer. God is always ready to comfort us in all our hardships and see us through.
If while we are going through a painful season, we choose to comfort and help others who are overwhelmed by their situations, we usually end up realizing that our situation is not as bad as we thought and we actually heal sooner. Whatever we receive from God, we are given to also share, as the Holy Spirit directs us and blesses others too. By doing so, we will never lack.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Father God, thank You so very much for all the mercy and comfort You have had for me whenever I needed it. You have always found the best way to help me out and help me heal when I was hurt. Life with You is so much easier. Please help me to be sensitive to other people needs and do for them what the Holy Spirit directs me to do, so that I may comfort others as You comforted me. In the Name of Jesus I pray, Amen
