"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."
-2 Corinthians 1:3-4
And that's just it. We are to comfort, because God is comforting. We are to be like Him in any way, shape, or form, and just comforting people when they're down is a great place to start. Sometimes it's really hard to look to God when you're down. It doesn't even matter how severe it is. You could just be sick. Or upset that a friend is upset. Or someone may have genuinely wronged you. Or you could be having work troubles;) And it's times like that when we can't depend on ourselves that we have to look to God. It's extremely difficult, but relieving. You lose all your pride, but you also gain so much trust in God. Being comforted is bittersweet because you are basically saying that no, you can't handle it all on your own. You need someone. And that someone is God. I will strive to find my comfort and solace in God, and in turn point others that direction.
