Hi, today I’m writing what my friend Sue Cull shared at our bible study .
I believe when you hear messages inspired by the Holy Spirit and they impact you that it is worth sharing ,especially if it will help others. So below is what Sue shared.
God calls the Holy Spirit the COMFORTER because that is the biggest need we have in our lives: healing and comfort for the hurts of sin,sickness, and death in this world. God’s comfort is the only thing that can heal us and allow us to forgive.
Comfort heals us after we are injured by other people, AND after we are corrected by God. Comfort is Truth, the TRUTH about my value and God’s LOVE , the TRUTH about the nature of my injury and the path out of it .
Self -Pity is a false substitute for real comfort. Self-Pity reinforces the injury, not my true value. Self-Pity keeps me in bondage, rather than showing me the way out. Self-Pity is the junk-food of the soul.
scripture reference.
John 14:26 Living Bible (TLB)
26 But when the Father sends the Comforter[a] instead of me*—and by the Comforter I mean the Holy Spirit—he will teach you much, as well as remind you of everything I myself have told you.
