COMFORT THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT!
Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
My beloved,
When we are in difficulty and cry out and lament, the Lord sends us His Holy Spirit. When we lost our father, my sister did not share her grief with anyone; she locked her room, knelt down in prayer and cried out to God saying, Lord, please comfort me in whichever way I need to be comforted. The reason was that she loved our father like her own life. Yet, not getting dejected that our father was no more, when she cried, My heavenly Father is with me; He will do everything for me, the Holy Spirit filled her in that room. She jumped in joy and praised the Lord happily. Till date, the Lord has not left her alone.
Jesus says, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you (John 14:16-18).
Dearly beloved, the Holy Spirit coming into us and we, rejoicing in the Lord, is our strength (Nehemiah 8:10). Let us ask and receive that joy from the Lord. The Bible says,
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (I Peter 5:7) As one whom his mother comforts, So I will comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem." (Isaiah 66:13)
When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, He comforts us saying, He/she is my child; we are strengthened. Dear one, submit all your burdens before the God of all comfort. He will give rest for your soul; He will comfort your soul with His comforts; He will comfort you through the angels of God, servants of God and the Holy Spirit. He will comfort others through you. May the God of all comfort, comfort you in every way, and make you rejoice!
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
I praise and thank You that You suffered on the Cross on our behalf. Your hands were pierced with nails and You bore the pain for our sake. I come to your presence with a broken heart. Comfort me with your loving hands and refresh my weary soul. Use me as a vessel of comfort to bring comfort to others.
In Your matchless name I pray.
Amen.
