2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 -- On Comfort from God

"Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work."
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17


The "everlasting consolation" part here is awesome, and I just like the overall fact that God comforts us.  Even though we're here for a reason and we need to learn, God knows that it is going to be hard for us sometimes, and he helps us through it.  It's so clear that God really loves us when he helps console us even through the necessary adjustments in our lives... even when we're in the wrong.  He understands, and helps.  It doesn't mean that we don't have to learn the lesson, and work at being the good guys, but he does know that it is hard, and he wants to help us to be as happy as possible through the challenges.

Today, let's work on being the good guys, and let's remember that we can go to God in our distress... always, no matter what.
