Good Morning, Papa God!
I find it interesting where our conversations have gone this morning. As I lifted up to You in prayer those that have experienced the loss of loved ones recently, You reminded me that You are the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our loss and tribulation. Having been on the receiving end of Your great comfort during losses in my life, I know of Your comfort deeply. But, it is certainly hard to explain to others how deeply soothing Your comfort is and how fiercely You love and hold onto Your own. It can only be experienced, not explained. When there are no words left to say to one that is hurting, there remains Your love and comfort wrapped around Your child. In the dark hours of the night when the hurt of the loss was the greatest, You embraced me in Your comforting arms. Even though it was not physical, but spiritual, I still felt it. You have led me to understand that my arms are sometimes the arms that You use to comfort others. No words spoken, just holding the person while they cry. But I know that even after everyone has gone away and the hurt is still there, You come with Your comfort and ease the pain. You care for Your child with a deep caring because You love so immensely. You meet me in my feelings of loss. You allow me to feel Your Presence wrapped around me, so I know that I am not alone in my pain. Help me comfort those around me who need it now, in the same way in which You have shown me comfort when I have needed it.
Good morning, My child!
I, even I, am the one who comforts you. When your spirit and soul and body are aching from loss, I am there to hold you. You know this well from the times in your life when you have experienced loss – loved ones, jobs, friendships. Loss can come in many forms as you well know. In those times when you have cried out in the darkness of the night, I have comforted you. Now, go and do the same to others. Be My comfort to them in their lonely and dark hours of loss. You have walked where they are. You understand their pain. Hold them while they cry. Those of My children who understand and deeply feel My love during painful times are My best servants to show comfort to others. Yes, My child, this is part of My calling on your life, to comfort others with the comfort you have received from Me and know so very well.
(2 Cor.1:3-4; Isa.51:12)
