Comforted to comfort others

“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:3-4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God comforts us in our times of suffering and distress. The Bible tells us over and over again that He is the source of all comfort. We see that God comforts us to restore us, but He also comforts us so we can comfort others too. I have found that when we are healed of some pain or trauma, in time we can help others going through the same thing. We pass on the help God has given us. We allow God to recycle our pain for the good of others.

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for all of Your help and comfort over the years. I pray that I can comfort others too. Use me to bring Your peace and comfort to others when they are in need. Amen.
