The Comfort of the Saints

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

It never ceases to amaze me that God uses ordianary people like us to make a difference in the lives of others. Within the past two weeks I have had people come up to me and tell me that the Spirit had placed me on their hearts and that they were praying for me. What they didn't know was that the things they told me that God had revealed to them didn't make any sense to them, but as they shared it was so perfectly capturing what I was going through that I was overwhelmed by the grace of God, a conspiracy of grace by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit that brought three people together at different times but with a specific message that was needed to bring comfort.

I am truly humbled......

Has God been placing a burden on your heart for someone? Share it with them if possible.

Share you story of God's messengers that provided comfort in a time of need....
