An Opportunity to Bless Others

“…who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to
comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we
ourselves are comforted by God.”

2 Corinthians 1:4
 

When we are experiencing severe trials, it is easy for us to get self absorbed. In fact, we tend to forget about other people altogether because we are so focused on ourselves. God always shows Himself to be bigger than our problems by comforting and encouraging us in the midst of them, and delivering us through or out of them.

Through our trials, we can become a source of blessing to others by offering comfort and encouragement. Just as God has encouraged us, we also can encourage others.

Thought for the Day:
In the midst of your suffering you can bless others.
