Comforter

Isaiah 66:13 - "As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem."



The word comfort comes from the Greek word parakle„sis. Parakle„sis is made up of para meaning beside, and kaleo„ meaning to call. The Christian who is suffering needs a special kind of comfort that only God can give. As our loving Comforter, He stands by our side to minister the soothing balm we need.

God's comfort is unique. It is infinite, inexhaustible, immutable, and indestructible. Our afflictions are temporary and transient; God's comfort is everlasting. It is available at all times. Some Christians are prone to forget how real and precious God's love and comfort were when they received the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior. 

Our Heavenly Father does care, and He does comfort. Let's turn to Him and give Him the privilege of ministering to our need. We are His child, and He is there when we're hurt.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too." - 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Have A Blessed Day!

God Bless

Every Day With Jesus
