Comfort

The mystery of the Christian life is that what the Lord Jesus Christ is becomes yours when you trust Him as your savior. You take on by faith, His life.

When others treat you poorly, be a blessing to them instead. God’s purpose for you involves being a blessing to others. Our example of blessing is found in the character of God and how He blesses us.

The key to growth in Christian things is getting involved in something outside of your own concerns

Just be there. Your loving presence is more of a comfort than you know. Listen, don’t talk. Love, don’t preach.

Continue helpful contact with people. Show people you really care about them with a second question. Show them your gratitude with a second thank-you. It’s important to get together with other Christians.

What does it mean for Christians to do some comforting? Be there, be physically present. Use encouraging words and positive reinforcement.

Though there is no given time that Christ will return, we must be ready.What does it mean to watch and be sober? Prioritize where you focus your attention.

Paul came as a father, persuading, comforting and encouraging. We persuade others of their need for the gospel.

Given enough time and trial, life can discourage anyone. The good news is: God is there to pick you up when you fall.

As the darkness in a dark room is gone when you turn on the lights, so the Glory of the Lord Jesus in your life keeps you safe from the darkness around you.
