Fantastic Friday #568 - Comfort

Comfort

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Philippians 2:1-2

This week I have seen people on social media and in person that have been happy and sad. I see at times people in pain and you wonder what gets them to this point. Why do we have discouragement in our life and what can pull us out of this rut that we can get buried in during these times. If you are truly united with Christ, there is a way to escape the frustration. We have to opportunity daily to pray to our Lord and Savior. What an amazing gift we have been given to tell our Heavenly Father what we need through His comfort and guidance. This is one of those aspects that I truly can't comprehend, but it is not our job to understand the ways of our Father, but it is up to us to turn to Him for this compassion. Just like the scripture says, there is comfort in his love through the Holy Spirit. I am in awe of this gift and will try and I need to remember to turn more often in prayer to Him.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
