The Rescue!


2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (The Message)

3-5. All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too.

I know about these hard times don't you? Especially in the past year and even now, we know of so many people that are hurting in one way or another. When we follow Christ, we know there will be trying times in our life. However, we were never meant to be on this journey alone! Friends and family will be there for us just as we should be there for them. Words of encouragement and hope give us this comfort that things will get better. And, oh my when we experience this healing comfort that comes from our Heavenly Father, there are not words to describe. Peace from our Father God Himself! So when you see someone having a "hard time", be there for them. Because as surely as you are reading this, they will be coming our way to. Pray to be aware of the needs around you, read the scripture again and be ready!
Have a blessed Saturday!
