The Father of Compassion

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. — 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Today I introduced my new friend Michaela to my friend Robin over lunch.

Michaela is planning to have a mastectomy with reconstruction in April.

Robin had one 16 years ago.

We had a chance to share our experiences.

We'll go for a hike around the neighborhood or down to Mission Trails on Saturday.

To continue the conversation and support her as she goes through this tough time.

We both had strong support networks during our surgeries and recovery.

Hopefully we can help provide that same support for our new friend.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus.

He is the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.

He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble.

We comfort others with the comfort we've received from God.
