Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3-7
The true and living God is the "God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3). He is the God of all solace. He calls us near for the purpose of comforting us.
Receiving His comfort enables me to comfort others: "...that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God" (2 Corinthians 1:4).
Tribulation, trouble, and sufferings come to us with the hope that our God is there. He cares. He comforts.
