I have a dear friend who writes a very beautiful, Christ centered blog – Crumbs from His Table.
I read her post on 2 Corinthians 4 and almost did cartwheels! Do you know what it says?!
We are…
- pressured in every way but not crushed
- perplexed but not in despair
- persecuted but not abandoned
- struck down but not destroyed.
Doesn’t that just make you wrinkle your nose and fling your hands in the air in excitement!
Not crushed! Not in despair! Not abandoned! Not destroyed!
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so through Christ our comfort also overflows (2 Cor. 1:3-5).
If you are finding some comfort in your afflictions, overflow today! Shine that love onto those around you!
Have a wonderful day,
Kate
This was my day every time I turned around and thought got it. I would discover something else had strayed out of line.
For a while I was frantic, until I began to praise God that I saw in time on each and every situation. Ummmm.
Awe, what a lovely way to start the day! Thank you. I’m so grateful you met God in those words. May you find as much comfort as you need in Him today.
Thanks for this… just what I needed for a pressure-filled Thursday! Lovely.
