The Object of Comfort

PATIENCE works experience. If we wish experience, we must not shun suffering, nor refuse to bear burdens. No matter how great the tribulation, God has comfort enough to enable us to endure it. He comforts us in all our affliction and tribulation. Do not forget this; his comfort is inexhaustible. “My grace is sufficient for thee.” And why does he comfort us?—In order that we may be able to comfort those who are in any sort of tribulation, with the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. We are to accept God’s comfort, and pass it along. God thus makes us sharers in his own work. The Holy Spirit properly takes us into copartnership, as it were. He makes us comforters.— Selected.
