Comfort & Joy

As we prepare for the various traditions and celebrations with family and friends, we realize all to well that although the holidays bring excitement and joy to most, they also bring their share of sorrow to many. Statistically, depression rates rise at this time of year as some are reminded not of what they have but of what they have lost. When we find ourselves in pain at a time when so many experience happiness, we are more and more aware of just how uncomfortable we really are.

"Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins." Isaiah 40:1-2

If you are in a place of discomfort, you can take heart knowing you have a God who knows your pain and wants to comfort you. We find beauty in the fact that God gives us double comfort: not only the temporary, physical comfort of this world, but also the eternal, spiritual comfort of the world to come. God says, "I'm not just going to tell you I love you, I'm going to show you that I love you." In the midst of this holiday season we are reminded to turn to the one who is able to give us true comfort that can never be taken from us regardless of the situation.
