Comfort - Today's Word of the Day

The love of God comforts me.

The most natural, loving response of a parent is to comfort a child who is emotionally upset or in physical pain. Massaging a sore muscle or bandaging a cut helps relieve the physical discomfort. A kind word or a hug heals the emotional hurt and helps the distress fade into nothingness.

Whatever has transpired in my life, I turn to the love of God within me, and I am comforted. I also experience the love of God in expression through others as they comfort me. A friend listens compassionately, or a family member welcomes me with open arms. In each case, I experience the love of God expressed in my world.

Whenever I am called on to comfort someone, I do. My words and actions flow from the love of God within me to embrace them.

"As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you."--Isaiah 66:13
