The LORD comforts us so we learn to be a comfort others.


*
2 Corinthians 1:3-7
"Grace to you and peace from God our Father 
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 
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.
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, 
so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort 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; 
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."
