He is the compassionate Father and God of all comfort. 4 He's the one who comforts us in all our trouble so that we can comfort other people who are in every kind of trouble. We offer the same comfort that we ourselves received from God
Everyone needs to be held...by someone. Their are times that the only thing that can assuage the hurt and the pain of life is to be embraced. The human touch and the caress of another is divine.
I recently conducted a service for a family that had lost their father. The youngest son of the family was the same age of my Stephen. My heart was broken to see the tears stream down his face. It's hard to loose your dad...at any age...but particularly hard for a young man. At the end of the service, gravity pulled us together. We embraced for a short while. He said, "I love you..." !
And I barely knew him.
Christ has promised to be with us always. The presence of Christ is the work of the Holy Spirit in the earth and...through God children. God often touches us through the hands of another.
Come to Him; into His warm embrace!
This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive
This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held
