Its Not About You But The King And His Kingdom

All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us
He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others.
When others are troubled,
we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.

You can be sure that the more we suffer for Christ,
the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

The Bible tells us that those God loves, He disciplines. God’s way of disciplining us may seem harsh at the time but it is for our benefit. One of His schools of learning is going through trials. Whilst in the storms of life, we often get discouraged. We are predisposed to focus solely on the problems as opposed to the end result that will make us better equipped for His Kingdom. We seek out solace from the storms everywhere but the Father – forgetting that our comforter is only a prayer away.

The above Scripture tells us that God is our comforter. It goes on to say that He comforts us so we can comfort others. Therefore, for the mere fact that you have gone through, makes you a prime candidate and able to placate others. God has designed this process ensuring that though we are going through, others can benefit. Therefore, He has strategically positioned you not only to grow but also to aid others. Therefore, it not about you, but the others to follow.

So here are a few pointers that will help:

1. Stop resisting Gods plan for your development by fussing or complaining. Count it all joy
2. When in trouble, run to Him and He will comfort you.
3. Remember it doest stop with you. Always look out for those who are going through similar experiences.
4. Extend the hand of compassion as Jesus would and comfort them as they go through.

Think about it, God has so much faith in you that He chose you to help relieve the pain of others. Doesn’t that make you feel special?
