Part 2: Genuine affection alleviates affliction. So also being real in vulnerability we open ourselves up to be comforted. Do you believe this?

Are you willing to go the distance? Wherever the will of the Lord carries you? None of us are strangers to adversity or suffering. When we understand all facets of life and even our respective ministries, there will always be ‘afflictions’ to endure and overcome, in the sowing and reaping of evangelism; along with encountering the sufficient comfort that comes from God. [Then] we will not live in deliberate discouragement. Instead, [we] will lean into the ‘overflow’ of God’s comfort that we share through our bond in Christ. Our comfort in the midst of varying distress and afflictions is rooted in constant trust and dependence toward our mighty God and saviour Jesus Christ. The Good News, for all who look to Him. Our reservoir of comfort is found in Him from whom our life has ‘identity, meaning, and purpose. Through life experiences and those of ministry, we ‘GAIN A SHARED PERSPECTIVE’ of A SHARED LIFE in CHRIST. Comfort is encountered to the glory of God.
