When you need comfort, I love to enfold you in My arms. I enable you not only to feel comforted but also to be a channel through whom I comfort others. Thus you are doubly blessed, because a living channel absorbs some of whatever flows through it.
My constant Companionship is the pièce de résistance: the summit of salvation blessings. No matter what losses you experience in your life, no one can take away this glorious gift.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.- PSALM 34:4–6
Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.- PSALM 105:4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.- 2 CORINTHIANS 1:3–4________________________________________________________
We must be a channel through which God lives. Whatever we do in life, we want it to further the kingdom of God. Why else are we here? One of our personal goals should be to help others find and follow Jesus so that they too may reap His companionship, comfort and peace.
Usually this is one of the hardest things for believers to do. Not everyone wants to go around proclaiming the glories of God, however there are other ways this can be done besides speech. Random acts of kindness, love and faithfulness are all ways that we can show others how God is affecting our lives. We are all created differently, so everyone will have have a different form of communication and that is ok as long as the message is that God is the leader and Father of our lives.
Today I challenge you to let God live through you. Find your way of communication and recognize what God will do.
