“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and 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, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” (II Corinthians 1: 3-4)

Comfort. We all have times where we desperately seek it—physical comfort, ease of fears, peace of mind, solace in times of grief. Where can we find this comfort?

It may be felt in the presence of caring people, but it has its origin in God, divine Love, and so is ever available, endless, as well as precise to meet the need of the hour. God is our Father-Mother. He is full of mercy. She is full of tenderness. This divine Parent is always with us, caring for us. We can turn from the human sense of despair and pity and find ourselves embraced in that divine comfort that truly heals.

And feeling this comfort and knowing its boundless source, we are able to utilize this very experience, this quality of Love in us, to be comforters for others. We can share our genuine affection as well as those assurances that come from a place of honesty, an understanding of the Truth that truly does set us free from discomfort, doubt, and anxiety.

Let’s gratefully receive God’s comfort. Let’s allow ourselves to be tenderly loved and our cares eased. Then let’s graciously use this powerful quality, felt in us, to bring peace to others who are in trouble, in need.
