Now . . we get it!

Now  .  .  we get it!

2 Cor. 1:3-4

Blessed be [gratitude and worship to]

the God [creator and sustainer of the world]

and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, [author and source of endless love]

the Father of all comfort [author and source of sympathy and compassion]

and the God of all comfort [creator and sustainer of all consolation and encouragement]

Who comforts [consoles and encourages] us in all our tribulations [trouble, disaster or difficulty],

SO THAT WE MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO COMFORT those who are in any kind of trouble, [be a source of true sympathy and compassion; consoling & encouraging others in their times of disaster and difficulty]  

with the same comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
----------------------------

Pray the Word:
Lord, we will always have praise & glory for Your endless love shown by the relief You extend to us in our times of distress and the hope & courage You give in our times of disaster and difficulty  .  .  and, now   .  .  .  WE GET IT!  .  .  It is only by personal experience of Your comfort in our times of disaster and difficulty that we are able to be consoling and encouraging to others in their times of disaster and difficulty with true sympathy and compassion.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
