Tender Comfort
"As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you."
~ Isaiah 66:13
"A mother's comfort! This is tenderness itself. A child can tell her all, and she will sympathize as nobody else can. Of all comforters, the child loves best his mother.
Does Jehovah condescend to act the mother's part? This is goodness indeed. We readily perceive Him as a father, but as a mother also? Does not this invite us to unreserved confidence, to sacred rest? When God Himself becomes "the Comforter," no anguish can long abide. Let us tell our trouble, even though sobs and sighs should become our readiest utterance. He will not despise us for our tears - our mother did not.
He will consider our weakness as she did, and He will put away our faults, only in a surer, safer way than our mother could do. Let us begin the day with our loving God and finish it in the same company, since mothers weary not of their children."

PLEASE PRAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME THIS MORNING. OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD. FORGIVE US OF ALL OUR SINS, OUR DEBTS, AND OUR TRESPASSES AGAINST YOU AND MAN; AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO ARE INDEBTED TO US, AND THOSE WHO HAVE TRESPASSED AGAINST US. AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM ALL EVIL:FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE HONOR, AND THE GLORY, FOREVER. IT IS IN CHRIST JESUS' PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN!
ReplyDeleteTO FORGIVE CHANGE AFTER CHANCE LIKE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO HAVE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR YOUR CHILD. TO FOGIVE THEM EVERYTIME, IS A LOVE NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND, BUT THROUGH THE EYES OF CHRIST JESUS. JOHN 3:16 SAYS IT ALL.
