"The God of all comfort!" 2 Corinthians 1:3

We are poor comfort-less creatures in ourselves! We often seek comfort in earthly things—and meet with painful disappointments!

SIN has banished all true comfort and solid happiness from our world. 
While God is excluded—comfort is excluded. 
Distance from God—is distance from comfort. 

Our God is the Happy One! He is also the happy-making One! 
His comforts are pure, spiritual, and lasting. 
His comforts delight the soul. 
One ray of light from His countenance, one word of peace from His lips—will give more solid comfort than all earthly things!

We must learn to live out of SELF—upon our God for comfort, or we shall never know permanent happiness.

He is willing to comfort us. He promises His disconsolate people, "As a mother comforts her child—so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted!" 

He commands His servants, "Comfort, comfort My people!" 

He sent His beloved Son into our world "to comfort all who mourn." 

Let us ever bear in mind—that it is our God who "comforts those who are cast down," and that He alone can comfort us, His children!
