GOD'S Comfort

A really dear friend of mine suffered an unimaginable loss recently. I cannot fathom the pain and sorrow, nor the questions. It is at times like this that I cannot think of a single thing to say. Not a single thing. There just is not any word that could possibly make it any better. Ever been there?

Have you ever been in a situation where words you say fail to convey what your heart truly feels? Have you ever been in the situation where the words others say fail to ease the pain your heart feels? Yeah, I would imagine that we have all be there...

Today's word is Psalm 119:50, NIV, which reads, "My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life."

When nothing seems to ease the pain, when words seem to fail to express, we can take comfort that GOD is still on the throne, and that He can help us through. We are reminded that sorrow is for a night but joy comes tomorrow. While it isn't easy to see that, while it isn't easy to sense that, while it is impossible to even believe that, we can rest assured that GOD does not fail, His promise will preserve us.

For my friend, I love you. I am praying for you. I know GOD will comfort you and His promises will endure.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
