In these
passages of 2 Corinthians, the Lord is reminding us that although the Lord
comforts us, it is our duty to comfort others.
Have you ever done something good for someone and then not felt better
yourself?
In our
earthly lives, it is important to remember that we have an obligation to help
others... either by direct contact or in prayer. No matter how we feel when things are not
going right for us or we wonder “Why me?”, take time to answer the question,
“Why not me?” We are all the same in
God's eyes. He does not pick you out in
particular to inflict pain or punishment on.
If you feel you are being unfairly “picked on” by the world, just take
time to look around, there is always someone who is not as fortunate as you.
The true
measure of a godly person is when they do good for others...when no one is
watching. Even though you are being hurt
by someone, remember, don't judge yourself through someone else's eyes.
Our words
can be the most hurtful thing we can do to others...silence is a void that does
not need to be filled. Sometimes it is
better to be kind than right.
Volunteering
is one of the best ways to help your fellow man and yourself at the same
time. Unless you step forward, you will
never get anywhere.
So remember,
if you're feeling helpless...help someone.
You both will feel much better.
Keep a
twinkle in your wrinkle,
Phil Pace
