Comforting others
November 6, 2017
I recently meet an arabic book store owner in Europe. He was intrigued that I was a published author. Lord, how can I connect meaningfully with this man? I told him of my widow focus. Immediately he poured out the story of his Dad’s murder in his home country and his Mom’s struggles today.
I was able to listen, relate, and comfort this person, so different from me in many ways.
2 Corinthians 1: 3-4 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.
God at work in unexpected places.
