One of the Divine Secrets of Yadah Yadah By Jackie Kendall Part 4 of 4

The Greek for “comfort” means “encouragement and strengthen; establish a believer in his faith.” I love this because God does not comfort us just to erase our sadness and make us happy. God comforts us, He send specific consolation, to purposely strengthen our faith in Him. The Greek word for “who comforts” means “comes to the side to aid with encouragement.”

Note: When Jesus said He was going to send another like Himself, He called the “another” the Comforter/Counselor (John 14:26). He didn’t refer to the Holy Spirit as a great leader but as a Comforter!

John Maxwell has aid, “80 percent of ministry taking place in churches is done by women.” Why? I know there are many factors that explain that statement, but I know without a doubt that a woman’s propensity for largeness of heart is one reason God can use her so freely with so many people. I know that a woman’s capacity for compassion and sympathy enables her to be “touched” by the needs of others, allowing her to cooperate more freely with the agenda of our Father.

In my 35 years of walking with Jesus, I have met a few men with largeness of heart-may their tribe increase.  Personally, I praise God for all the suffering that has broken my heart, time and time again.  This breaking made more room for God to accomplish my “largeness of heart.” Suffering leads us to the cross, and the cross connects us to God

He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. (2 Corinthians 1:4 NLT)
