As the younger sister, I've always cherished the privilege of running to my elder sister for comfort. We share a bond that makes people mistake us for twins. Whenever I faced heartbreak, failures, rejections, or setbacks, she was my go-to person for comfort. Her presence made me feel secure, even when my mistakes led to those struggles.
This relationship has greatly influenced my life choices and lifestyle. Similarly, God desires to be our Comforter. He wants to be the one we turn to in times of need.
Just like those affected by the recent hurricane, many people are overwhelmed with emotions and need comfort beyond human encouragement. They need comfort that brings hope, peace, and a way out of despair. That's the kind of comfort Jesus offers. The kind of comfort that doesn't leave us lost or wondering how to survive but a comfort that is a total package, a comfort that brings us hope and a future.
He knocks at our heart's door and asks us to come to him.
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." He knows we're struggling, and He invites us to come to Him.
I've often found myself stuck in overwhelming situations, but God says, "I can be your comfort." He wants us to come to Him today, to experience eternal rest and peace.
As 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds us:
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we receive from God.
Stay Revived!
