2 Corinthians 1:3-4
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, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
NIV
Few experiences could be as painful as the loss of a loved one. So when Harry's dad passed on he was very, very sad and could not be comforted by family and friends. He turned to God for comfort and to His amazement the Holy Spirit began to tell him soothing words in ways none of his human comforters could.
The God of the universe as revealed by our Lord Jesus Christ is Father and a very compassionate One. He is always concerned about the comfort of His children. Of course, He disciplines and trains them to be responsible and not 'spoilt' children. Above all, God wants the comfort of His children in all situations. Our Lord Jesus is called "Wonderful Counselor'. And as He was about to depart the earth He introduced to His disciples the Holy Spirit as the 'Comforter' (see John 14:26). This shows how much God desires the comfort of His children.
Go into today knowing that God wants your comfort. And if you are going through painful times, seize the opportunity to know and experience the amazing comfort of the Father in a unique way. Allow Him speak to your heart and transform you to minister far-reaching comfort to others.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to open up for your comfort. Let Your Holy Spirit work in me so I can also be a channel to spread your compassion to people around me. Amen
