2 Corinthians 1:3\u20134 says it so beautifully:
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s not just encouragement \u2014 that\u2019s assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God doesn\u2019t waste comfort. He pours it into us, so we\u2019ll pour it out on someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isn\u2019t that just like a good daddy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the dad who doesn\u2019t want his daughter stranded on the side of the road, so he teaches her how to change a tire. (Even though he prays she\u2019ll never need to.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or the dad who takes his little girl on dinner dates \u2014 holding open doors, pulling out chairs, treating her like royalty \u2014 not just because she is his princess, but so she\u2019ll know exactly what love should look like when it shows up with a ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s the same kind of Father God is. Tender. Strong. Full of wisdom, protection, and instruction. And when we\u2019re hurting? He doesn\u2019t just pat us on the head and say, \u201cYou\u2019ll be fine.\u201d He enters the pain. He wraps us in compassion. Then, He whispers, \u201cNow go do the same for someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He comforts us \u2014 not to keep it, but to pass it on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because people all around us need comfort. They need someone who doesn\u2019t just know what the Bible says but knows what God feels like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you\u2019ve been comforted, don\u2019t tuck that miracle away in a memory box. Use it. Love with it. Cry with it. Help someone else change their flat tire of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s how we become compassion carriers \u2014 walking out our faith, hand-in-hand with the One who taught us how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God comforts us so we can comfort others. Don’t keep the compassion to yourself \u2014 pass it on, love big, and let your story speak hope. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n\n\n\n
