Life is sure difficult today and maybe you agree. God reminds us that we are to bring encouragement to those who are having hard days. Whether it is depression, loss/grief, illness or how about uncertainty for the future, your experiences in life are partially intended to bring comfort to those in need.
These verses from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (ESV) spell it out for us:
As God brings hurting people through my pathway, I am burdened to pray for them and hopefully bring words of comfort to their seemingly hopeless situations. Oh to be the hands and feet of Jesus!
How about you? Are you feeling overwhelmed with life today? Only God can make a way where there seems to be no way… If I can pray for you, please let me know! Don’t let the heaviness of your situation weigh you down, our burdens are meant to be shared. Prayer is available here!
A beautiful reminder, Kimberly! God placed us in community. What a joy to GIVE perspective to others. AND…if we are the ones needing comfort, we can turn that perspective toward God and RECEIVE His comfort.
Amen! I agree and thank you so much for this post. We are blessed to be a blessing to others!
