God the Father is Comforter
Jesus is the Comforter
He sends another Comforter.
the Holy Spirit
Like the need to eat, drink, or breathe
I believe we have an inbuilt need for comfort.
God the Father is described as a Comforter....
Jesus describes himself as a Comforter and lived His life comforting
And Jesus promises to send another Comforter.. The Holy Spirit
Pretty important aspect of God then !!
Everyone is looking for comfort
Increasingly in a godless UK , I suspect people are trying to find comfort in all the wrong things…. Although Costa coffee is pretty good
On my bike ..Riding home.. Going fast
Soon be there.. Between the fields.. On the path
Barbed fence.. Flashing by.. As I speed
Tour de France.. Watch me now.. In the lead
Huge rock.. In the way.. Suddenly
Swerving now.. Left and right.. Unsteadily
S l o w - m o.... O v e r I g o ... Onto barbed – wire fence
Cutting, tearing.. Through my clothes.. Ripping flesh
Blood stains.. Now appearing.. On my shirt
But I’m young.. And I’m tough.. Doesn’t hurt
Hurry now .. Steadily.. Make it home
Drop my bike.. Open door.. See my mum
Floods of tears.. Pour from me.. In her embrace
Wounds bathed.. Stinging stuff.. Gauze in place
Sorted
Fifty five years.. From that day.. Further on
Scar remains.. Reminding me.. But pain has gone
Remember now.. The comforting.. The kind and soothing care
And for me.. Security.. That mum was there
How awful
For the people.. Who go through.. This life alone
Who all their lives.. Are searching for .. The comfort zone
Who have to grow up.. Big and strong.. And face it by themselves
Must be hard.. Must be tough.. A kind of living Hell
‘ Big boys don’t cry’.. Is just another evil lie.. Coming from the liar
I’m so glad.. My Father God is called.. The Comforter
That I know Him.. And He loves me.. Forever and a day
And with the comfort .. That I get .. I have enough to
Give away
