Comfort


Oftentimes when people face challenges their natural tendency is to seek comfort in things that are familiar. It may be work, an activity or relationships, and of course we all know about “comfort food.” But those things only bring temporary comfort. TRUE comfort is only found in a relationship with Jesus.

God said in Isaiah, “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you...” According to Webster’s dictionary, comfort means to give strength and hope; to ease grief or trouble. No matter what difficulty you may be facing today, God wants to bring you comfort.

Start reminding yourself that your loving Creator longs to give you strength, hope and confidence. Turn to Him, receive His love. Let go of things that would hold you back. Let Him heal your heart and give you strength for the future. Let Him empower you to rise up and overcome every obstacle!
