a passage of comfort. i was reading a bible study last night, that i haven't picked up in
months, and this was one of the passages. it really spoke to me about a friend's struggles, and God's attitudes to our struggles in general, and i wanted to share it with you. God's timing is like that.
2nd corinthians, chapter 1.The God of All Comfort
3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
5For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
6If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.
7And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
