EVERYONE

“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;  Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we are comforted of God.”

2 Corinthians 1:2-4 KJV

Rev. Ira F. Stanphill wrote a beautiful hymn.  It is one of my favorite hymns “Room at the Cross”.  Thank God that there is room at the cross for everyone.  Just as there is room at the cross for everyone, there is enough room for everyone in the world to sit on God’s lap at the same time as He comforts us.

If you are brokenhearted, discouraged, lonely and feel like going to bed and staying there, tell God.  He will set you on His lap of comfort and remind you that He loves you as He dries your tears with tender kisses of love and compassion.  O how our Heavenly Father loves you.  Allow Him to comfort you.

Precious Heavenly Father, thank You for the many times You comfort us as You dry our tears with kisses.  Please help us to love one another so much that we will comfort those who are hurting just as You comfort us.  We love You, dear Father, and we appreciate You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
