2 Corinthians 1:3-4

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

New International Version (NIV)

Praise to the God of All Comfort

3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.


It is truly an amazing concept that we can give out the love that Christ gives us...

Yesterday someone left a really encouraging note on my car. It said "Chrissy! May you have a most splendid Thursday filled with rainbows and butterflies! We appreciate you and your servant heart ♥ Psalm 118:24"

And it really made my Thursday special. I felt so encouraged and loved, sometime I can be really hard on myself but it's things like these that God uses to remind me how loved and appreciated I am. Because of this note, I wanted to pass on this love. I decided to do a random act of kindness, and bought someone's meal at Chick-fil-A. And honestly, I want to KEEP doing things like that! There is a rush of utter joy when you do something like that for someone else.

This is how it feels with God's comfort. When You feel His comfort and presence; the moment you see someone else in a distressing situation, you immediately want them to feel the comfort of God. We are called in this passage to give it out as God gives it out to us. Just like the note immediately convicted me to do something kind for someone, I had to go out and do something for someone else. When God comforts us, we immediately feel a need to go out and share this comfort with others.

Don't be afraid to do this. God will lead the way to their heart.


Dear Lord, thank You so much for these verses and the encouragement You've given me lately. You really want to me know that I am loved. Thank You. I pray that we can give comfort just as You do to us. We love You Lord. Amen
