The God of Comfort

I heard a sermon this week about the God of comfort and thought to myself "what kind of comfort have I experienced from God?" I think of when I was having my five surgeries and was so scared of the outcomes. God gave me comfort in so many ways: giving me praying parents, giving me a pastor who was always there, giving me nurses and doctors that had a gentle touch and a smile. All these things I know were God giving me comfort. I also think of the days and weeks after my husband left me. I found comfort from God's word that felt as if God himself had his arms around me holding me. I think of the times when people say derogatory things about me or my husband. I can see the comfort God gives me thru my friends at Hwy 5 Baptist Church and the Heaven Bound Bikers. These people seem to look past all my faults and tell me that no matter what people say God is with us. I can now see how Paul felt when he wrote to the Corinthians that they gave him comfort in his affiliation by their faith in God. Hhave you experienced comfort from God? Can you think of a few hundred ways God shows you comfort every day. I am so thankful that God knows just what kind of comfort I need, and just at the right time. Praise God in your affiliations because you get to experience the true comfort of God.

 
 

God Bless and keep the wind in your face!
