As I was reading
1Pe 4:12 — 1Pe 4:13 (NLT)
12 Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. 13 Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.
The Holy Spirit ministered to me to connect this passage with....
2Co 1:3 — 2Co 1:7 (NLT)
3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. 4 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 5 For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ. 6 Even when we are weighed down with troubles, it is for your comfort and salvation! For when we ourselves are comforted, we will certainly comfort you. Then you can patiently endure the same things we suffer. 7 We are confident that as you share in our sufferings, you will also share in the comfort God gives us.
One reason that we can rejoice in what ever we are going through (and our rejoicing is not for what we're going through, but for Christ Who is with us and enabling us to walk in faith through it, and leading and guiding us/teaching us how to remain faithful to Him and His Word through it and how to trust Him, lean on Him and rest in/stand strong in Him and His Word... plus receiving His love and comfort) is because as we are receiving from our Savior and Lord all that He desires to teach us ...
we have a knowing from the Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians as ministered through/to the apostle paul... that there will be someone, who will come across our path.. whom Father desires that we extend His very loving arms of grace, mercy, peace and love to who is in the same situation we have already walked through... we can be those blessed arms of compassion that they need, that encouragement and strength that Adonai wants them to have... and so graciously chooses to use us to stand in for Him... to be his ambassador nd physical touch to that special child of God who needs a loving touch from our heavenly Father.
So rejoice in your Savior and Lord for lovingly teaching you and leading you through a trial... and be that extension of Fathers love to the one who needs it.
Blessings
