As I was reading Pastor Joe’s message I was deeply moved in once again hearing the assurance that as God’s Children we have and that is His total Love and comfort when needed and I was also reminded of the verses below. Thank you again Pastor Joe for your faithfulness as you minister in Jesus’ name to all in need, with whatever needs we have……
Isaiah 43:1-3 – Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you.

Perhaps Son I should call you Barnabas, you would have to be the most encouraging person I have met Blogging, you are a blessing. I know I have said this before but I would have been very proud to call you my Son, your Parents are blessed.
Today so many find fault with others but you seek to uplift them and also take an interest in what interests them and because you do you will be blessed, good always follows good, like evil follows evil, we may not always recognise the good at first but it will be a reality.

Thanks Anne for sharing this article on Gods comfort. I was much impressed by it, Joe highlighted an area which is not touched on lately. Its only Gods comfort that can give us peace and as the word says passes all understanding ‘I loved his line, God doesnt comfort us to make us comfortable but to make us comforters.
Blessings
