Daily Wisdom

“…our flesh had no rest, were troubled on every side; Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus.” 2 Cor 7:5-6

In spite of Paul’s weariness and struggles, he found and saw Titus as a source of strength and encouragement in God.  God may not always give you the people you want, but He will send the people you need, to comfort you, strengthen you to be the person you’re meant to be in Christ. Simple thought, but do doctors encourage the healthy or do they work with those sick and in need of care? Yet, interesting how we often run from those who are sick or in need, fearful we’ll come down with their illness or maybe burdened ourselves in their struggles.  WE are called to comfort those who are troubled; by and with the same comfort and grace in which God has comforted us (2 Cor 1:3-4). We’re all different sinners in need of the same God; be faithful when others falter; loving when others are lonely; hopeful for those who are hopeless…when it comes to compassion, after all is said and done; make sure more is done than said.  

The power of Grace is the fact it meets you where you are, but want leave you where it found you!
