Coming Alongside
November 23, 2017
2 Corinthians 1
Beloved,
Suffering touches everyone, but I am here to come alongside you. I promise to make things turn out for good. Because of your salvation, you experience body, soul, and spirit miracles throughout your life.
You go through hard times, thanking me for being in your trials and problems. You are never alone. You will understand and comfort others. You will bring them to Me.
When you suffer, I ask you to invite Me in to help. I want you to be aware that I am praying in you and through you at all times. That and your praise is all the sacrifice I have ever wanted. I can do more for you and everyone around you than you have ever dreamed. Many people try to handle their own lives without Me. But as for you, you know that you need Me and that I am here for you.
Quotation 2 Corinthians 3-5
“All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us.” The Message
Old Things R New 
I was reading this week about faith and rejoicing in what God will accomplish.I am learning to not just give thanks for the outcome but to give thanks for the valley as I walk through it.

A beautiful reminder of how God is there for us when we call out. Sometimes we forget that when we get mired in the suffering.
