So That We Can

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. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. (2 Corinthians 1:3–5, NIV 1984).

My Musings – “So that.” “In order that. It is not the only reason that God comforts us. But because He comforts us in our troubles, we better have a good reason for not having that comfort overflow into the lives of others when they are in trouble. “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.” (Isaiah 40:1, NIV 1984).

My Advice“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9, NIV 1984). Paying it forward is not new concept. It is as old as time. The good that God flows into our lives, let’s flow into the lives of others.
