<p>&quot;The Father of compassion — and <strong>the God of all comfort</strong>.&quot; 2 Corinthians 1:3<br />
    <br />
    There is a blessing in true <em>human </em>sympathy. God sends our <em>friends </em>to us, to bring us little measures of His own love — little cupfuls of His grace. But He <em>Himself </em>is the only true comforter. His <em>love</em> alone — is great enough to fill our heart, and His <em>hand</em> alone — has skill to bind up our wounds.<br />
    <br />
    However deep the sorrow may be — if we creep into God's bosom, and nestle there like a tired child in the mother's arms — God's love will enfold and embrace us, and flow into our heart — and we shall be comforted, satisfied.<br />
    <br />
    &quot;As a mother comforts her child — so will I comfort you.&quot; Isaiah 66:13
