God will comfort you – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
“I, even I, am he who comforts you.” (Isaiah 51:12)
My precious friend, today is a day of impossibilities because we have a God who is over all impossibilities, making His will which is the best for us to happen in our lives. All things are possible to him/her who believes in Jesus. He creates everything for us. “I will make all things new” says the Lord. Today’s promise is from Isaiah 51:12, “I, even I, am he who comforts you.“ God says, “I Myself will come and comfort you my child.” May be you are in a situation where nobody is able to comfort you; nothing of this world is able to comfort you. My dear sister, Angel’s birthday is today. We were in great loss but God gave us Evangeline who was of the same age as my sister and comforted us.
When Jesus was travailing in Gethsemane, he was facing death. He was crying to God, “Father if it is Your will take away this cup from Me. Let it pass away.” An angel of God came to comfort Jesus. But He could not comfort Him. He would not allow Himself to be comforted. Jesus knows that agony. He knows how you are going through a situation where nobody is able to comfort you. That’s why He says, “I Myself will come and comfort you, my child.” Yes, in John 16:20 He says, “Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.”
God says, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” (John 14:18) Your sorrow will turn into joy. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 1:4, “who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” The Father of compassion and God of all comfort has chosen to comfort you so that you will comfort others. May be that is why He is allowing you to go through a path of no comfort. But the God of all comfort is coming to you to comfort you. We read in Psalm 94:19, “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” That’s why God gives you the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit comes, He fills you with joy in the most tribulation filled circumstance. The Holy Spirit will make you laugh with joy and overcome very sorrow of the world. He will remind you that God reigns forever and will strengthen you with joy. You will be comforted.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,
Fill me with Your Holy Spirit right now. Thank You for Your promise that You Yourself will comfort me. Fill me with joy in my spirit through Your Spirit. Let me rejoice and overcome every sorrow. Thank You for doing it Lord.
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.
