God of Comfort

 

This is my stuffed giraffe, Jeffry. I cuddle with him when I'm at my grammy's house. I love to hold him close to me, because he's soft and he comforts me when I'm upset. Stuffed animals are very good at comforting. Do you know who else is good at comforting? God is the best comforter there is.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4
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 receive from God.

When we feel peace and comfort through Jesus, we can pass that comfort on to others. It's a great way to share Jesus with those around us. We are all in need of a little comfort now and then. In fact, there's a worship song about comfort too. In the song 'Shout to the Lord' it says "My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength". God isn't just our comforter, he's also our safe haven. He is the one who holds us together when everything else is falling apart. And when the rest of the world sees how we have remained strong during the hard times, we can tell them that it was God who kept us together - our comfort, our shelter.
