COMFORT, COMFORT My people, says your God.
It is the will of God, your Loving Father, that His people should be a comforted people, even in the worst of times. He desires that comfort will be proclaimed to all His people. If you look around you, you will be surprised to find out that there are people in distress, people who are hurting, and people who need to be comforted. In these words of God, note the repitition of the word "Comfort" (the verb). It implies that it is of great importance to Him.
Take out time to encourage someone. Let them be sure that, notwithstanding the things going on in their lives, God has love and mercy for them. Even if you have to share your words of conviction from the Bible, wrap it all up with words of comfort.
May you bring comfort and healing to someone today. Amen.
Prayer: My Loving Father, oh how You love all Your people including me. I am so blessed to know that You want all Your people to be comforted. Father, please help me to look beyond myself and see people I could reach out to. Empower me to be Your instrument to bring comfort and healing to Your people. In Jesus Name, Amen.
