Comfort

Comfort yourselves together.

We are to comfort each other. That our Lord desires this of us should be no surprise, right? In a world where so many are selfishly bent through their flesh nature, comforting each other takes us outside of that selfishness. To give comfort is an amazing thing.

2Co 1:3  Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; 
2Co 1:4  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. 
2Co 1:5  For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 

This is truth. For us to be able to comfort others we must ourselves be comforted by our Savior.

Suffering for Christ and comforted by Christ, all things by our Savior. This is what we must give to each other this knowledge, this truth.

1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 
1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. 
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 
1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 
1Th 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

Please, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, teach us to comfort each other, teach us to find comfort in You. We need Your love, Your faith, Your hope, Your truth, Your salvation, Your grace, Your mercy… PLEASE. All in YOU!
