Category: Comforting Others

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NKJV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

As we each walk through times of difficulties and trials, it’s important to know that we are not alone.

Some of the things we face may be the same things that others are facing.

Some may be unique to us because they are situations that we are facing as individuals, not part of a larger situation.

And even as we walk through difficulties that others are also facing, ours will have its own unique twist because each person’s situation is different.

Regardless of what we’re facing, or the uniqueness of it, God is the same; He is the God of all comfort who walks us through our trials in His own unique ways.

There is none like Him.

And we need to be sure to look at what the last two lines of verse 4 says, because that’s where the rubber meets the road; that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

This means that not only does God comfort us as we walk through trials and difficulties, but He does it with a purpose; so that we may be able to offer that same comfort to others!

Because we have walked through trials, and we have seen the goodness of God in the midst of those trials, we can then take what we learned as He walked us through them, and offer it to others to give them the same comfort we experienced.

So, persevere. Hold fast to Him. And let Him comfort you in the midst of your trial.
