4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. ~ 2 Corinthians 1:4
Often times when someone is going through a tragedy, we don’t know what to say or so. Sometimes, we even avoid them because we feel uncomfortable and don’t know how to handle it, but we don’t have to overthink it. In times of hurt, pain, oppression, devastation, tragedy, etc. God comforted us. And in doing so, He taught us how to comfort others.
We don’t have to overthink these things; we just have to allow God to move in us. We just have to allow God to comfort someone through us. Not everyone has a relationship with God, so God can’t comfort everyone the way He comforts His children. God dwells in us, and Christ lives through us; therefore, we can allow God to comfort those in pain and suffering by comforting them ourselves in the same love that God comforted us.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Comfort As God Does.
