Today, give a friend in need a call and share with them the same comfort that God has given you in your troubles!
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. For some time now, Tom has been struggling with pain and feelings of despair due to his quadriplegia. As a fellow quadriplegic, I know what it’s like – and it’s why I keep in regular contact with him. I just want to pass on the comfort. It’s what 2 Corinthians 1 is all about. The Phillips translation reads, “Our Father… gives us comfort in all our trials so that we in turn may be able to give the same sort of strong sympathy to others in their troubles.” Oh friend, you may not be a quadriplegic like Tom or like me, but I am sure you have had your troubles, your doubts, and your fears. And I’m certain you can recount the times that God has been there to comfort you. So, please take a moment today to give a friend in need a call and share with them the same comfort that your Heavenly Father has given you. It’ll bless their life, but guess what? It’ll encourage you, as well.
