Word of Hope for Today with PRC
HOW TO MINISTER TO OTHERS (Part-1)
“God…comforts us…so that we can comfort [others].” 2Co 1:3-4 NIV
Today’s Insight
Years ago a lady visited an orphanage and
asked the matron, “Is there a child here nobody has offered to adopt?” The
matron replied, “There is. She’s ten years old, not much to look at, and she
has a hunchback.” The lady said, “That’s the child I want!”
Thirty-five years later the director of the Orphanage Inspection Department in
Iowa submitted the following report on a state-run facility: “This home is
outstanding. It’s clean, the food’s good, the children are well-cared-for, and
the atmosphere is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.
The matron, Mercy Goodfaith, has a soul
that oozes love; she has such beautiful eyes I forgot how homely her face
was—or that she was a hunchback.” Because a Good Samaritan had the courage to
love and nurture a little girl others overlooked, Mercy Goodfaith went on to
share that same love with hundreds of other orphans. Paul says, “God…comforts
us…so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we…received.”
And Billy Graham adds: “Those who have
suffered the most are best able to comfort others …to empathize with [their]
afflictions because of what they’ve experienced…Our sufferings may be hard to
bear, but our goal should be to learn all we can from what we’re called to endure
so we can fulfill a ministry of comfort as Jesus did. ‘Because he himself
suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted’
(Heb 2:18 NIV). The sufferer becomes
the comforter in
the service of the Lord.”.
Today’s Prayer
Heaven

grants us wisdom to apply your Word in Action so that those who are afflicted,
shame and persecuted must have chance to change their lives. Lord uses us on
how to minister to others and let us show our love and compassion to them by serving
them unconditionally for your glory, In Jesus Name. Amen!
