If we are distressed, it is for your comfort … — 2 Corinthians 1:6
Rape
Alcoholism
Bankruptcy
Affairs
Sexual abuse
Homelessness
Emotional abuse
Rejection
Failure
Cancer
Death
When I make a list of things that have deeply hurt me and touched my life, I feel a profound sense of peace, like the clean calm after the storm.
Many of these stories I can’t tell you, for I must protect the privacy of people that I love. But I can tell you the story of comfort. I have been hurt, but I have also been comforted by God.
In the middle of your distress you will find the soothing comfort of God. As it is broken open in your life, it will flow from you to all those around you who are hurting.
If you are in distress, I speak from experience: The hurt goes away, but God’s comfort remains.
Be encouraged!
