Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.
This short passage contains a valuable lesson in the ways of the Lord that we are called to obey. It also contains another example of the way God's Grace works. Another example of the LORD saying to His people. "Here's what I've done for you, now this is what I require from you in response."
He comforts me in ALL my afflictions, if I am willing to climb up out of my pity pot and join Him in His Work.
