Greetings sisters!
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
I love that scripture and I came across it again last night and it was greatly comforting! What a great God we sisters have! God comforts us...and then we get to comfort others...isn't that awesome! And so I share some more scriptures on the comfort of God...
I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
Isaiah 51:12
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psalm 23:4
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
Psalm 119:76-77
Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
2 Corinthians 7:6-7
I love all those and that last one talks about God using saints to bring comfort. That's a precious thing too. He is such a merciful gracious Father to His children. Let us keep reverencing and fearing Him.
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Hebrews 12:28
We sisters need to be ready at all times don't we...
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Peter 3:15
We have to keep that eternal mindset and be walking in the Spirit. There are times we can be caught off guard. Or some may have quieter lives away from many people and therefore away from questions and opportunities...but we still need to be preparing and ready. We never 'take a break' from this faith life and neither do we want to!

I hope you keep holding fast sisters! And that your are not growing weary in well doing. If something looks overwhelming we just have to take it one minute or thing at a time and keep being patient and faithful in it. Trust in the Lord for His help and lean on Him! Bye until tomorrow Lord willing sisters!
Love in Christ,
Sister Chayil
