Good morning, dear friends, I hope you slept well and woke feeling refreshed, ready and able for service to our Lord Jesus. Ya know, it never seems to amaze me, that as I read His Word, scriptures I've read many times in the past suddenly jump out at me, such as this morning's reading in 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 NIV "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God; For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."
Did you hear that? God has given us comfort, made us comfort-able, so we can help others in ANY trouble with the comfort we obtained from Him. He doesn't just bring us comfort to rest in that comfort, but He gave us that comfort so we would be empowered to comfort others with that same comfort.
WOW! what an awesome Word! Paying it forward for the kingdom sake! Talk about a trickle down theory!
If we would all comfort others with the same overflowing comfort He has given us unconditionally; and just as we have been comforted, we pay it forward to others likewise; what a powerful explosion of God's grace would rock this universe! Countless needs would be met and lives would be changed, and after all, isn't this the great commission we were given from our Lord Jesus?.... to Share His love to one and all, unconditionally, for His glory sake! Just a thought..... If only!!!
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, God loves you and so do I~~~
