PASS IT ON

I've noticed through the  years that those who have suffered are quick to comfort other sufferers.
When a young couple suffers the loss of a child, another couple loses their main income, almost ammediately another couple steps forward to offer their aid, remembering their own journey through foreclosure years earlier.

Again and again we see the body of Christ supporting and encouraging one another. These Christians have learned that they can use the trials they've been through to reach out to others going through similar difficulties.

Have you been sick? Lost a loved treated? In all of our trials, God promise to bring something good out of even our darkest moment. One key way this takes place is when we share the comfort He offered us with those who are now going through trials.

We are comfoerted by a Savior who knows our suffering, and we honor Him when we pass His comfort on to still others. May we never leave someone to suffer alone. If we know the trail another is on, God will help us to guide that person to His presence, the surest comfort of all.

Dear Lord, help us to step forward when others arround us are suffering trials similiar to what we've been through. Enable us to be a comfort, as You have been to us in the past.


GOD COMFORTS US SO THAT WE CAN COMFORT OTHERS.
