We are required by Jesus to comfort those who in pain, if they are not comforted, the pain is automatically extended to others, the anger towards others.
All mankind is required to love, this is the new commandment that we love one another, look out for one another and not only for ourselves.
“No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.” (1 Corinthians 10:24) (NIV) “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:4) (NKJV).
If you love and comfort individuals who are in sorrow, in pain, and patiently listen to the individuals, they will surely feel loved. Love opens our hearts towards others, a heart just like Jesus our Lord and Savior. For example, Jesus saw the pain in the hearts of His disciples when He was about to ascend into heaven. He said, “I will not leave you as orphans” (John 14:18) (NIV) I am with you always, and I will send a Comforter, the Holy Spirit to be you. (John 14:16) (NIV).
Please pray for those who are hurting, whose hearts are broken, pray for the Holy Spirit to visit and comfort them.
My Testimony:
A few weeks ago, one of my sons said, mom, when we were younger (him and his siblings) I was always angry with them, always unhappy, depressed. Almost in tears, and looking at him I said, while you were growing up, I was in pain, unhappy, needed someone to help me, to comfort me, and to love me, in place of verbal and physical abuse and I found none. My son said mom, you are much happier now, always laughing, dancing, and singing, and I said it is because of Jesus, even though I am still going through verbal abuse till this day, Jesus has taken over my heart, He is my first True Love and my only True Love, so I just focus on Jesus.
He is my joy and my peace, please let Jesus be your first True Love.
AMEN!!
