[Discoveries] 07-12-08 Comfort remains -- 2 Corinthians 1:6

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*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!
Dwight
