DAY 22- Comfort one another

 DAY 22- Comfort one another

1 Thessalonians 4:18 “Therefore, comfort one another with these words.”

This verse is not dealing with a tough time at the office, or a business deal gone bad…it is dealing with the greatest heartbreak we know…the loss of a loved one…

” These words” which we are to comfort with - are all about the hope with have through the resurrection of Jesus.

We should be comforting for the lesser problems as well, but this verse calls us to step up when a brother is hurting and encourage and comfort them.  Not that we do not mourn as we certainly do …but we mourn differently…as those who know this is not the end of the story.
