From Brokenness to Purpose
2 Corinthians 1:3-7 (NLT)
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. 6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. 7 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.
Our sufferings and struggles aren't wasted in God's economy. He comforts us so that we can comfort others with the same comfort we've received. Your broken places can become sources of ministry and hope for others facing similar challenges. Reflect on how God has comforted you in past trials. How might He be calling you to use that experience to encourage someone else? Remember, your story of God's faithfulness could be exactly what someone else needs to hear.
