Comforting God 

When I had visited one particular country, they showed me a cemetery. In the cemetery, I saw tombs like houses that had been built for dead people. They also had photographs of the dead imprinted there and some houses were also air conditioned. The people told me, “Here a group of people have a belief that when their parents die, they believe that their spirits doesn’t leave this world; it roams in this world and so they bury the body and build a house over it. During their anniversary, they come as a family or sometimes when they feel heartbroken, they come here for comfort. They sit before the grave of their parents and thinking that their spirits are there, they weep while telling them about their sufferings. They believe that their parents will come and help them.” I was totally astonished to hear. This is the kind of world we are living in, my friend. 

Perphaps, you may be wondering who would comfort me in my sufferings? I have lost my loved ones too. Do not worry. You too can carry your problems to Jesus. He says, “My child, you are so precious in my sight. I am always there to comfort you in your tribulations. I will wipe away your tears.” Yes, Jesus will be your comforter. 

Prayer

“Loving Lord, thank You for speaking to me through Your word. You are the only comforter I have on this earth. Though people give me a helping hand, my true comfort comes from You alone. God of all comfort, thank You for comforting me in all my tribulation. Amen.” 

‘Jesus carries you on His shoulders; Be of good cheer!’
