All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. – 2 Corinthians 1:3(NLT)
MERCIFUL & COMFORTING GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
To the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
May all praise be given to Him all your life
He is the only god who forgives you infinitely
Turn your focus on Him who can grant you mercy.
There is no other human who can give you comfort
Only the Father and the Son will bring you forth
Remember to rely only on him for your well-being
He is the only God who can provide for anything and everything.

¬When my husband and I went through marriage counseling, we bumped into the book “How we Love” by Milan and Kay Yerkovich. Our counselor used this book to address our marriage issues. It mainly focused on the principles of how we love based on the love and we got from our first caregivers. The first thing we were asked was “How were you comforted as a child?” My husband and I apparently couldn’t answer the question or recall any situation when we were given comfort as far back in our childhood that we can remember. It was obvious that we weren’t able to be provided with it. Thus we learned to be independent and self-sufficient. The bible tells us the source of all comfort who is our merciful God.

PRAYER
Lord, thank you for comforting me in my pain and grief.
REFLECTION
Why do you think comfort giving is becoming a novelty today?

God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. -2 Corinthians 1:3(NLT)
THE SOURCE OF COMFORT
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you are troubled and not getting love
Do you ask your heavenly Father up above?
God is full of mercy and is the comfort source
Run to Him and He will immediately open doors.
No one can fully provide for your needs except Him
Ask Hand He will grant you more blessings
When you rely on His power, you are being humble
It will bring you satisfaction and lessen your stumbles.

Our world capitalizes much on making a lot of us become comfort addicts. We love it when we can get everything we want just at the tip of our fingers. We shop online for commodities so we don’t have to go outside to shop. We research and read everything on the internet instead of manually reading a book or asking someone’s advice about something. We like to eat food that brings us comfort. We like to make our homes and relationships comfortable. We don’t like to be challenged to change the comfort zone. We take pride that we can make our own comfortable niches and ensure that nobody takes it away from us. Yet, oftentimes, despite all these plastic comfort bubble that we protect ourselves with, we still don’t feel fulfilled. Only God can give us true comfort and joy.
