Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I have learned over the years that there are times I can’t tell someone, “I understand how you feel.” After all, if I haven’t had the experience someone else is going through, why would I tell someone I know what that feels like.
There are times we don’t really know how to feel.

But as Paul is writing in 1 Corinthians 1, we need to remember that God will use those of us who have had the heartaches of life to be there to comfort those who are facing a similar situation. Always remember, however, that “the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,” is the only One who can truly understand, comfort, and encourage us when we face things that are difficult and discouraging.

So even though we may be facing a time that we have never seen or experienced before, let’s all remember that God can use us to be there for one another during this difficult time.

Even in uncharted waters, the Lord will be there to show us the way!
