Be Comforted
Scripture: Isaiah 40 v 1:
"Comfort ye, comfort ye My people, saith your
God."
We come through this life battle scarred and travel weary
having to be alert on every level to guard against problems. We need to have a
soft place to land, where we can rest.
Our God, our Father, wants to comfort us and be our soft
place. He welcomes us with open arms and lovingkindness. He is gentle with His
children wanting only the very best for us. He provides for us to give us space
to grow in His grace.
Grace is the unearned favour of God. It is a priceless
gift bestowed on those who come to Him with their troubles. He anointed Jesus
to bear our sorrows and pain and to set free those who are bruised.
As we follow Jesus His pure and holy nature becomes part
of our lifestyle. His mercy and truth comfort us and bring hope to our heavy
hearts. We shed our fears and doubts as His love strengthens us and makes us
whole from our brokenness.
Bring your hurts to the Father for healing and comfort.
He will impart wisdom to enable you to overcome your burdens. Jesus says take
My yoke upon yourselves as it is light and easy and roll your burdens onto Me.
So let us rejoice in His grace and favour which ease our
sorrows. Let us praise and exalt our Saviour who has purchased our salvation.
Let us love one another as He has loved us. For we are His people and He will
protect us forever.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, we love You for making our lives
rewarding through laying our burdens upon Jesus. We enjoy Your comfort and
kindness Lord God and Your precious gift of grace. Keep us in the shelter of
Your arms. In Jesus' name. Amen.
