“…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!
