Your Sorrows Can Help Others
Day 332

God comforts you in your sorrows if you allow Him to. You, in turn, are
to comfort others.

"One of the advantages of going through pain," says Dee Brestin, "is
that one day you will be able to comfort others who have been where we
are. God is stretching you right now, and it's very painful, but I do
think that one day you will be able to comfort someone else."

You first have to allow God to comfort you. Be open to receiving His
comfort. Then you will be supplied and ready to give that same comfort to
another person. You will not have to drum up the energy to do this or
feel that it is a chore. You will be so full of God's comfort that
passing it on will come naturally, supernaturally.

"All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the
source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all
our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled,
we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us" (2
Corinthians 1:3-4 nlt).

Father God, I accept Your comfort. I open my arms to You right now and
stand secure in Your loving embrace. May my heart be so full of Your
comfort that it pours out on others I meet today. Amen.
