Blessed [gratefully praised and adored] be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts and encourages us in every trouble so that we will be able to comfort and encourage those who are in any kind of trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as Christ’s sufferings are ours in abundance [as they overflow to His followers], so also our comfort [our reassurance, our encouragement, our consolation] is abundant through Christ [it is truly more than enough to endure what we must].
– 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (AMP)
So I was reading one of my devotionals* this morning and the above verse (different translation) was included. It struck me that many folks I speak with either via the internet or in person say they don’t really feel comfortable evangelizing. Okay I get it not everyone is a Billy Graham type :). But everyone has a story to tell of how God has comforted and encouraged them at some time in their life and just about everyone knows or runs into someone who needs that same type of Comfort and Encouragement. Huh, I wonder if God could have been setting us up for a little evangelizing? Do not hesitate remember we can do these things in the power of Christ. – Mike
