We must recognizes, without question, that suffering is a part of life. People hurt us and we hurt others. Of course, it should not be this way right?. Thanks be to God that we have confront that comes to us from God in all or our affliction and we get the blessing of using our comfort revived as a comfort to give others. In doing so we will again be comforted as we are reminded of Gods incredible faithfulness. But how often are we hurt by people? A lot! We need to remember that as we see conflict and hurt in the natural world that in the end there is a spiritual battle that rages on. If we forget this we can fall prey to our own hurt and be misguided in our reaction to those around us who untimely need the love and comfort of God in there time lashing out at us and others.
