Isaiah 66:13 says, “As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you.” Your heavenly Father is the God of comfort. When the world takes its toll on you, He longs to wrap you in His loving embrace and bring you comfort to cover all your pain. In the face of trials and tribulations, He desires to provide you comfort in the fact that He works all things for your good. And when everything seems bent against you, He longs to sing comfort over you as He fills you with the joy and foundation of His presence.
Jeremiah 31:13-14 says, “‘Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness,’ declares the Lord.” God is in the business of turning what your enemies meant for evil into the very source of your joy. He loves to transform what was once your greatest sorrow into a reason for gladness. He longs to lead you to a life of abundance and satisfaction when the world around you seems to be dry, weary, and depleted.
God is calling out to you, “Come to me . . . and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). He is beckoning you to open your heart to Him and receive the comfort only He can provide. Sometimes opening our hearts to Him can be difficult. To have our wounds be truly comforted and healed requires allowing Him to come and speak to the vulnerable and sore places of our hearts. We all have wounds deep down that we have worked tirelessly to keep hidden from others and even ourselves. We all have areas of our lives that seem to hurt too greatly to bring up again, even if the very act of bringing them to the surface will be our source of healing.
When God beckons you to open up the hurt places in your life to Him, know that He will only ever speak love, mercy, and forgiveness. And know that after He gets done comforting you, the area that used to be a harmful wound will be a continual source of joy, gladness, and abundant life.
Open your heart to your heavenly Father today as you pray. Allow the Spirit to guide you to wounds that need to be comforted and healed. Allow Him to wrap you up in His loving presence and guide you into the abundant life He intends for you.
