Never, never, never forget this: God is the source of all comfort; especially if He seems distant. “Suffering is inevitable in a fallen world”. Adversity serves a purpose, didn’t Jesus tell us, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Go to Him and share your heart. Your reward will be immeasurable. Once you experience this comfort, you are to go out and share it with another hurting soul. It’s why He comforts us to begin with, to bring peace to chaos, and to share His immense love for us with others.
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 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. 5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with His comfort through Christ. 6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. 7 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.
