The Comforter

“God, that comforteth those that are cast down.” - 2Co_7:6 Remember when you were a child and skinned your knee or got hurt in some way? Nothing could comfort you like mom could. She knew just the right words to say and how to treat your wounds. God is like a mother because He knows how to comfort those who have been cast down. Jesus told His disciples that He must go away but that He would pray to the Father to send another comforter. The Holy Ghost can comfort us like no one else can. He knows what we need even before we do. He has the power to comfort when things seem to be the worst they have even been. Let us let God comfort us when we feel cast down, trodden underfoot, hurt, bruised and abused. No one can help us like He can.
