Comfort others the way God comforts you.
For week 4, we head to 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. Paul was writing a letter to the church in Corinth in which he shared about the troubles he and Timothy had faced. Yet in the midst of all their difficulties, Paul and Timothy were still able to praise God because of the comfort God offered them. In this passage, Paul encouraged the believers in Corinth to offer comfort to others who were in trouble because of the comfort they had experienced from God.
Bottom Line: Comfort others the way God comforts you. What brings you the most comfort? Maybe it’s a blanket, ice cream, or giving your pet a big squeeze. Maybe it’s talking with a friend or binge-watching your favorite show. As good as those choices may be, the best comfort of all comes from God. And because of God’s comfort towards us, we can be a comfort to others too.
