You have two choices: see what you’re going through as an opportunity to get stronger and to comfort other people who are going or will go through what you are going through……or wallow in self-pity.
It seems pretty obvious which one most of us would pick! But, I am among the worst when this comes up because in the moment, especially if I’m tired or in pain, I forget. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit reminds me either through His gentle voice or through the comfort of someone else who knows how to comfort me.
How blessed it is to gain this insight and to use anything and everything we go through for the good of others, to be the extended active hands and feet of the Creator who designed us for this, and to edify ourselves in the process.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5 NIV
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 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. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.

First of all ❤️! So true. It takes a while to train our spirit to rise up and overcome our self in tough and painful times. Maybe that’s why God gives us so many opportunities! I know I still struggle and wallow for a bit, but I am getting better at turning to praise and trust to carry me through. It’s amazing how quickly your mood turns around. Thanks Sister for always reminding me! ❤️
