I woke up thinking, I need to pay attention to comfort. I need to pay attention to the Great Comforter in my life. God. Jesus. And the Holy Spirit. And I need to name it because I do not seek comfort naturally. I seek independence.
The Greek word for Comforter means "one called alongside." The reason for one being called alongside is to give aid and help.
Paul tells us in his letter to the Corinthians:
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
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 ourselves receive from God.
It is true that when we have experiences grounded in suffering, we can be more empathetic with others who also have those experiences.
But my focus today is not on shared experiences, but on the sanctification process of being comforted by God. That it is in that moment we learn about, experience, take on His nature for attending to people, that we increase our commitment to providing comfort.
