1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 1:4who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Sometimes we just don't feel like singing or smiling. Matter of fact, there are times it's hypocritical to paste a smile on your face.
It is in those times that I am most thankful for the Scriptures. In God's word we not only discover His will for our lives, we find words of genuine comfort for those times when life comes unglued.
We may become unglued at times....But THANKS be to GOD Who ALWAYS causes us to triumph in Him ....Blessed be His Holy Name JESUS...The Lord God of Israel ;o)
