The Apostle Paul, is one of the greatest Christians that followed and served his Messiah! In 2 Corinthians 1:3-7, we read these powerful words of hope and promise! "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, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort."
Life is not easy. What an understatement, right? There are so many things in this life that we can't understand, that our faith in God helps us to trust Him! He allows the "bad" times to come into our lives so that we have to call out to Him for help, and then He shows us His mercy and grace to get us through these difficult times! Paul shares with us that a blessed benefit of receiving God's compassion and comfort, is that we then be able to show that same compassion, comfort, and help with others who are going through similar experiences and all the praise will go to God!! May you be able to fully experience God's compassion, comfort and help! God bless you !!
