Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word.
(2 Thessalonians 2:16-17, NASB)
So many times I need comfort. Either I’m in pain or I’m lonely or I’m uncertain. And I just need someone to give me a hug.
And sometimes—oftentimes—I feel very weak. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually. And I just need a bit more strength.
Guess what? I have the great Comforter as my Abba. I have the Giver of strength as my Savior.
I’m never alone. Never.
When I hurt, I can crawl into my Abba’s lap, and He’ll comfort me. When I’m lonely, I can cry out to Him, and He’ll wrap His arms around me. And when I’m uncertain, I can pray for His guidance, and He’ll lead me.
And when I just can’t get out of bed because my body is so very weak, I can lift my hand to Him, and ask, “Lord Jesus, please hold my hand just a little more tightly today.”
And He does.
If you're looking for comfort, cry out to your Abba. He's waiting.
