Comforted to Comfort others

Our lives are filled with  diverse experiences  both good and bad. Some has made us bitter, angry and sad, while some has made us better, happy and glad. The truth is, who we are right now results from our responses to our experiences which has shaped our way of thinking,judgement and disposition to life.

However, the reason for these experiences supersedes us. When we experience some situations and get out of them or (maybe not), it is not only for ourselves, it is for us to comfort and encourage others who will go through the same situation in the future or who are presently going through it and does not know how to get out of it.

This is what happens: let's say you failed an examination before and this experience made you very unhappy. You went through a time of crying,feelings of guilt and failure,maybe it even delayed you from moving forward with your mates and you felt very bad. But then, you got encouraged by someone, or you encouraged yourself and studied hard, prepared well and rewrote the exams and passed excellence:  this experience is not only for you, you already have a story to tell someone in a similar situation and help the person get out of it,making them have a better life.

That is what it really means to comfort others, to add value to others, to help others and to make God happy which is the ultimate in life.

Our experiences in life must go beyond self-aggrandizement,enjoying it all alone. God allows us to go through some experiences  in order to make us strong and to help others by strengthening them and comforting them. It doesn't matter the situation maybe from inadequacies to abundance,failure to success,barrenness to fruitfulness, telling our stories goes a long way to reach out and help others.

Keeping quiet is just being selfish. God wants us to talk about how he helped us so that others can trust him and turn to him also for help. So my friends, as you think through your life what experiences have you that will help others, please take time to share with us at the comment section. You don't know who really needs help around you until you start speaking of your challenges and how you overcame them through God.

Also, know that life is filled with daily experiences,so prepare for them with the heart not only to enjoy but to also help others too.

Its a new week with new experiences and as you surmount them take time to share with anyone around you and be ready to listen to others share their experiences too.

Don't give up! You are already at the edge of a miracle.

I love you, Thank you for reading and have a wonderful week.
