Sharing a Cup of Comfort
June 21, 2017
Our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
2 Corinthians 1:7
A friend mailed me some of her homemade pottery. Upon opening the box, I discovered the precious items had been damaged during their journey. One of the cups had shattered into a few large pieces, a jumble of shards, and clumps of clay dust. After my husband glued the broken mess back together, I displayed the beautifully blemished cup on a shelf.
Like that pieced-together pottery, I have scars that prove I can still stand strong after the difficult times Gods brought me through. That cup of comfort reminds me that sharing how the Lord has worked in and through my life can help others during their times of suffering.
The apostle Paul praises God because He is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort (2 Cor. 1:3). The Lord uses our trials and sufferings to make us more like Him. His comfort in our troubles equips us to encourage others as we share what He did for us during our time of need (v. 4).
As we reflect on Christs suffering, we can be inspired to persevere in the midst of our own pain, trusting that God uses our experiences to strengthen us and others toward patient endurance (vv. 57). Like Paul, we can be comforted in knowing that the Lord redeems our trials for His glory. We can share His cups of comfort and bring reassuring hope to the hurting.
Lord, thank You for using us to provide comfort, encouragement, and hope to others who are suffering. We praise You for all Youve done, are doing, and will continue to do to comfort us through our own afflictions.
God comforts others as we share how He comforted us.
The Greek word for comfort (paraklesis) means to come alongside and help. Jesus is called our parakletos (advocate) in 1 John 2:1. The Holy Spirit is another advocate or comforter (John 14:16). Paul asserts that God is the God of all comfort (2 Cor. 1:3). The triune GodheadFather, Son, and Holy Spiritis there with us in our pain. By saying God is the "Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (vv. 23), Paul thereby reminds us that coming alongside to help each other is a family duty and privilege (v. 4).
To whom can you be a parakletosa comforterthis coming week?

I don’t see it. Maybe someone at the site saw me outside earlier hanging out with the fireflies as they woke up for the night. LOL! It does feel kinda magical being surrounded by so many of them flickering in the twilight.

Ok, we can go with that. “....and then some” sure is right! LOL! Maybe being an elf is why I always wanted to be shorter. :-)

I guess so, think I will go outside by the big oak in the front lawn and do a summoning (or something) dance, maybe I can trip over a big pot of gold.

Hello Barack
You were an Elf Queen in your past life.
Who is an Elf Queen ?
Elf Queen, in the folklore belief of Lowland Scotland and Northern England, designates the elfin queen of Faerie, mentioned in Scottish witch trials. She is equivalent to the Queen of Fairy who rules Faërie or Fairyland.

Hello Linda
You were a Warrior in your past life.
A warrior is a person specializing in combat or warfare,
especially within the context of a tribal or clan-based warrior culture society
that recognizes a separate warrior class or caste.Well, then. All right!! :)
