old t-shirt

God's comfort is like the old t-shirt you never want to take off or give up. It is like your favorite pair of pajama pants that you throw on the minute you get home to relax, breathe, and sink cozily into. God's comfort goes even deeper still...it is there when your pillow is flooded with tears and all seems to be crashing in. His comfort is there in the perfect hug he sends in a special person. His comfort is there as you stare at the powerful, yet peaceful ocean waves allowing the beauty to calm your soul. His comfort is there in the words of an encouraging text from a loved one. His comfort is there in the cuddle time with your kids as their sweet, chubby, little hands wrap around you allowing you to once again know that all is well. His comfort is there in a sweet surprise, a sunny day, fresh flowers, laughter with friends, and phone calls with family. His comfort is there when you get terrible news...but yet you keep pushing forward in faith. His comfort is there in the promises of His word.

God's comfort is ever present. Allow Him to soothe your soul today, and give you peace and strength to press on with diligence...becoming victorious in Christ against all odds. No matter what you are facing today...you are not facing it alone. God is there always as He has promised. My heart is aching for many reasons, it is aching for many I know that are hurting...but I lay it all at the feet of my father and breathe in His peace. The comfort of Christ comes at the call of His name. Be here with me Jesus. And be with my loved ones who are suffering and allow Your comfort to override the pain. Thank you Lord.
