part 4: God of all comfort

1)  "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Christ, the Father of copassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts un in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have receieved from God." (1 Corinthians 1:3-4)

2)  In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trial.  These have come so that your faith of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire maybe proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. (1 Peter 1:6-7.)

3)  I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. (John 8:51)

4)  My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.  Therfore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.
(2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

5)  Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.  (Matthew 11:28-30)

  My point today is that there are so many verses about how God is gentle and loves us.  These a re just a few.  In another blog I will find more to prove myself right.  We live in this world with a promise of something good to look forward to.  I have mentioned how God is the God of all comfort, we are worth more than gold in weakness He finds strength and when we are weary He will give us rest.  How can that be an unloving God?  After all he sent Christ and sacrificed his Son so that many will live when our day of judgement comes.  I still wonder why we tend to make it hard for each other and not live more like he does?  I have meet so many new wonderful people at this new church I have been going to.  I feel transformed and not so depressed these days.  Maybe I still am struggling to find out my purpose here being a single mom.  I am more than that.  In my trials when I am tired of everything I can give it to God and he will be there though I can not see him I know in my heart what is true.  My struggles make me stronger though at the times I didn't realise it.  I am not the same weak girl from last year.  I have never been compeletly abandoned or neglected.  I have never been compelety sheltered just more than what I wanted.  God will show me my full purpose in His time.  Until then I have new hope and I know it's ook to feel sad but with control.
