Comfort-August 29

It was back in 2018, our theme for JumpStart was “Be the Light”. We brought in an acquaintance I knew named Jud Heald. He was our entertainment for the weekend, but he was unlike any entertainment we had ever had at JumpStart before or since. You see Jud is a professional skateboard and the Director of Untitled Skate. He has the most X-Games type job of anyone I know; but he also lives his life by “being the light” which was the theme of JumpStart weekend back then. He keeps in touch, about monthly, by sending me a random devotional. I heard from him this morning in fact! But I wanted to share this particular devotional from the other day because I feel it fits the week we’ve all been having. Enjoy! -Zac

Comforted to be a comfort
“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 may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.”
2 Corinthians 1:3-6 ESV

Looking at the scripture, it’s pretty clear that when bad things happen to good people, good people are then in a position to help people going through bad / hard things.
Pray of the Lord, that He might help you use the things you’ve gone through to help others going through things that they are now struggling with.
