March 5 ~ COMFORT DOESN'T TAKE THE PAIN AWAY

Contrary to what a lot of people believe (or hope), comfort doesn't take the pain away. 

Comfort slides in besides the pain, pulling up a chair so that we have something more than sorrow in our hearts. 

Comfort gently expands our spirits so that we can breathe again. 

Comforts opens our eyes so that we can see possibilities again. 

And on those days, whether it is the next day or five years removed.....on that day when hopelessness rears it's dark head again, comfort helps us remember that pain is not all there is.


(I Love the Amplified Bible version of this verse)

John 14:26  

But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.
