God Comforts Us to Make Us Comforters
Thoughts on 2 Corinthians 1:3-11 (part 2)
2. God comforts us to make us comforters.
"…the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble,…"
God doesn't comfort us just to make us comfortable, but so that we can comfort others.
Here are two definitions of comfort that I found.
1. to lessen the sadness or sorrow of someone and to strengthen by inspiring with hope and restoring a cheerful outlook.
2. to give strength and hope to.
Are you sharing the comfort that God has given you? Are you a comforter?
