Recieving Comfort From Others

My name is Brian, and my life has changed dramatically over the past two years. I have discovered what it trult means to begin becoming a follower of Christ. this is my first experience with blogging. I would like to use this sight to share with those who visit this blog at least once a week, a devotional of some of the things I have learned from other Christians or from the Word of God, but also I will be sharing everyday experiences of daily living as I feel led to share them.

We recently had one of our senior saints go to be with the Lord. Her name was Mary Bell Fronk. She was a comfort and an example to our whole church body. She had a health condition that caused her to need kidney dialysis three times a week for four hours each treatment she received. During these times, she would minister to others in the dialysis center (the staff, and other patients) , she also ministered to others while she was in the hospital or at the nursing home while she recuperated and gained her strength back. She never stopped serving Christ and others, even though she suffered from her illness.

2 Corinthians 2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all
comfort
4: who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any
affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5: For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant
through Christ.
6: But if we are afflicted, it is for your cofort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your
comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7: and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so
also you are sharers of our comfort.

Now when I go through difficult situations, I think of this ladies testimony of caring for others,
and how she truted the Lord to give her strength. I also remember that others have probably gone through similiar trials, and God has also been a comfort to them.

I will enter more blogs in the near future, at least once a week. That's all for now.
