The God of All Comfort

Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (AMP) May we comfort and encourage one another. However, if no one is there to encourage you, be like David. When David and his men returned home from battle they found the city burned with fire, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive. (See 1 Samuel 30:6 NASB1995) David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, for all the people were embittered, each one because of his sons and his daughters.

The Source of All Comfort

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.

He encourages those who are discouraged and lifts up those with heavy hearts. Psalm 94:19 (NLT) says, when doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.

Romans 15:5 (NKJV)

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. — 1 Corinthians 13:3 (NLT) We make gains in this life by sharing the genuine, selfless, love of Christ with others. If we don’t love, we've gotten nowhere. Love (affection and goodwill and benevolence) edifies and builds up and encourages one to grow [to his full stature] (1 Corinthians 8:1, AMP). Love never fails —it's instant in every season. Make great gains in your love!
