GOD WILL COMFORT US

“Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.”

Matthew 5:4 KJV

What a healing balm it is to know that God Himself comforts us.  We read in the Bible.  “Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.  Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;” (2 Corinthians 1:2,3).

I sometimes think it’s almost worth it to be brokenhearted because God Himself comforts us.  I believe when our heart is breaking that God sets us on His lap, sits in His rocking chair and tenderly dries our tears with kisses of compassion as He says to us “I love you”.  What a privilege to be loved by God.

When your heart is breaking and the tears start to fall, allow God to comfort and encourage you.  Our Heavenly Father is a compassionate Father and your tears are precious to Him.  “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” (Psalm 56:8).  O how God loves you!

Heavenly Father, I love You so much and I appreciate You.  Thank You for the many times You have comforted me when I was brokenhearted.  Thank You for loving me and for adopting me into Your family.  Please comfort and encourage those who are hurting and brokenhearted.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
