2 Corinthians 1:3-7

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are conforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in teh
patient enduirng of the same sufferings which we also suffer; and our hope for you is firmly grounded, knowing that as you are sharers of our sufferings, so also you are sharers of our comfort."


HOLY CRAP ON A STICK!!! man guys, Jesus rocks. these verses just spoke to me today. does anyone have this in "The Message" translation? i had to read it 3 or four times to get it, but once i did, i loved it. i'd love to hear it in a more modern translation. . . (this was NASB)

God comforts us in our pain so that we may comfort others who are going through similar pain. ok, i'm bipolar. i have a friend who is struggling with some major mental problems right now, and i believe God is using me powerfully in her life to comfort her, because I know what it's like to hurt like that. how amazing. sometimes i forget that the Word of God is alive and breathing ,and then God shows me something like this and it just knocks me on my face. man.

i just had to share that. . .
