Your Sorrows Can Help
Others
Day 332
God comforts you in your sorrows if you allow Him to. You,
in turn, are to comfort others.
“One of the advantages of going through pain,” says Dee
Brestin, “is that one day you will be able to comfort others who have been
where we are. God is stretching you right now, and it’s very painful, but I do
think that one day you will be able to comfort someone else.”
You first have to allow God to comfort you. Be open to
receiving His comfort. Then you will be supplied and ready to give that same
comfort to another person. You will not have to drum up the energy to do this
or feel that it is a chore. You will be so full of God’s comfort that passing it
on will come naturally, supernaturally.
“All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in
all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we
will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us” (2 Corinthians
1:3-4).
Father God, I accept
Your comfort. I open my arms to You right now and stand secure in Your loving
embrace. May my heart be so full of Your comfort that it pours out on others I
meet today. Amen.
