He Comforts Us Part 1

I remember back to a time in our young married life as Christians, the things my husband and I walked through.  They were completely different issues for us individually, but the intense part was that we were having to walk out not on our own; but together.  My husbands issues were more philosophical in nature toward the things of God, and mine was more in the form of emotional baggage that I had no idea how to be free from.  Now, the side note here is that there are MANY marriages entered into in this same general problem.  And I can tell you, that unless you are both willing to walk out with each other their problems, issues and matters of the heart together; and be willing to support and provide grace and understanding, this path that you are on will turn out to be a journey through the wilderness. We have to be willing to walk out each others path together, encouraging each other, giving each other grace and mercy as often as needed combined with a lot prayer.  It is a covenant relationship, and that means we stick it out together.

Jesus in the New Testament and God, our Father in the Old Testament has both promised to never leave or forsake us (Deut 31:6  Hebrews 13:5)  He's a friend that sticks closer than any brother(Proverbs 18:24), and He promises to be with us even to the ends of the earth (Matt 28:20). All of our days, we will never be alone. He IS there with us.

We have become a society, that says I can do what I want, when I want, because I want to.  Once this mind set takes over, it no longer matters what the effect is on loved ones around us. We have forgotten as a whole, that our decisions directly affects others; always.

God created us to be in relationship with Him. So He formed relationships around us to teach us how to be and with who we should be. And when the attack on the family became the center of hell's focus, relationships have been so twisted that young people today don't always have a knowledge of what a relationship is really supposed to be like.  For instance, when I was in High School, everyone "knew" what relationships were "supposed " to look like or be like, even if they didn't have that example in their immediate family.  Now, you see people who honestly would not know the character of a real relationship and what that in tails if it stood in front of them.  When one person does step up and speak out for and about marriages and family, they are the ones being labeled as strange or weird.

Today we live in the result of a world with secular views are saying to live for yourself and nothing else matters.  But in 1 Corinthians 13 the description of love is completely the opposite.  The entire chapter speaks of love not being all about self and more about others.  We must get back to some of the basics. To love like Christ loved the church is the only way to see others through Heavens eyes. Everything will take on a new meaning.

God wants to heal every thing in your life that has wounded you. Wounds from past relationships, hurtful words that have been spoken to you over and over, and HE wants to show you what blessings come from a covenant relationship with Him.  Spend some time in His Presence as you study and read 1 Corinthians 13. The Passion Translation is a good example, but read it in your  preferred version.  He wants you to know what true unconditional love really is, and He wants YOU to walk in it's fullness.


Dear Heavenly Father,

I praise You for every person who reads this entry and needs a touch from You.  You are the One who loves us, makes provision for us, and You alone knew each of us before we were ever born.  You have a purpose and plan for all, and nothing escapes or gets past You.  So I thank You for Your Hand being upon each individual in need of You, and showing them that You are there in the middle of each situation with them. You are and will always be closer than anyone that we could ever know on this earth. And I pray that they see this truth in operation in their lives today.  In Jesus Name.  Amen.


Call out to Him today with everything that is in Your life and invite Him to step in and help you.  He is already there, waiting on you.  Blessings my friend.  Have a great day .
