2 Corinthians 1:3,4:
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
Let's just say I needed some lovin' from Papa today.
I had a dream last night that reminded me of some
unresolved things from back homw with some
relationships in my life.It's a dream that comes
back to me every so often, and one that
consumes my thoughts.
See, I'm someone that hates losing people.
Even if it might be for the better,
I just can't seem to let it go.
There have been relationships in my life
that have not been exactly healthy.
Yet when I think about how they ended,
I feel like I'm missing something.
In the midst of trying to understand why
things were left unresolved, I find myself
thinking that I somehow have a responsibility
to mend the relationship.
Like if I just try hard enough,
everything will be made right.
And so I bend over backwards,
trying to mend something that may not
be meant for rebuilding.
And by doing that, I lose myself.
I needed the comfort of Papa.
During team time, we do listening prayer.
It's a time where we pick one team member
and ask the Lord for words specifically for them.
In the back of my mind I'm thinking
"Jesus, i really need that."
Well, without even saying anything, Aubree says
"I think we should do it for Courtney today."
Oh Papa, you make me smile 🙂
Then my team prayer for me.
I was filled with the comfort of the Father.
Just a word of encouragement for all of you who are reading:
The God that I am talking about is the God of ALL comfort.
There is no limit to what you can bring before him.
He stands there, as a knight in shining armor,
weeping as he waits for you to come to him.
He has an uncontainable love for you.
He knows what needs mending in your heart.
He knows what relationships need rebuilt
and which ones you are meant to break off
so that you might experience the fullness of his love.
In the comfort of the Heavenly Father,
you will NEVER be disappointed.
