… so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. — 2 Corinthians 1:4
I want to focus on the word "any." Why can we comfort those in "any" trouble? Because we have tasted and seen that the Lord is good. Because now that we are comforted, we no longer need to rush in with all the answers. We don’t have all the answers. Let’s face it: We don’t have most of the answers. But we do have this: Comfort that shows up every time we are in distress.
Here’s why we don’t give out answers any more: Answers are cheap. Instead we give comfort. We bring people straight to Jesus for soothing, healing comfort.
Be encouraged!
