Mon Sauveur t'aime

Je chanterai à l'Éternel, parce qu'il m'a fait du bien. Psaume 13. 6

Cherchez l'Éternel, et vous vivrez. Amos 5. 6

Si tu savais quel Sauveur je possède!
Quel tendre ami Jésus Christ est pour moi!
Il me comprend, il m'écoute et il m'aide;
Oh! je voudrais qu'il soit aussi pour toi!

Si tu savais la paix douce et profonde
Que le Sauveur a versé dans mon cœur!
La paix du ciel, inconnue en ce monde,
Qui coule de la croix vers le pécheur.
 

Si tu savais la parfaite confiance
Que je peux mettre en mon divin Berger!
À tout instant, il est ma délivrance,
Il me protège au plus fort du danger.
 

Si tu savais l'espérance certaine
Qui m'encourage et rend mon ciel si beau!
Au cri d'appel de sa voix souveraine,
Je partirai le rejoindre là-haut…
 

Quand tu sauras combien ce Sauveur t'aime,
Quand, en Jésus, tu auras mis ta foi,
Ne garde pas ce trésor pour toi-même,
Mais dis à tous ce qu'il a fait pour toi!

Sharing a Cup of Comfort

Our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. 2 Corinthians 1:7

God comforts others as we share how He comforted us.

A friend mailed me some of her homemade pottery. Upon opening the box, I discovered the precious items had been damaged during their journey. One of the cups had shattered into a few large pieces, a jumble of shards, and clumps of clay dust. After my husband glued the broken mess back together, I displayed the beautifully blemished cup on a shelf.

Like that pieced-together pottery, I have scars that prove I can still stand strong after the difficult times God’s brought me through. That cup of comfort reminds me that sharing how the Lord has worked in and through my life can help others during their times of suffering.

We can be comforted in knowing that the Lord redeems our trials for His glory.

The apostle Paul praises God because He is the “Father of compassion and the God of all comfort” (2 Cor. 1:3). The Lord uses our trials and sufferings to make us more like Him. His comfort in our troubles equips us to encourage others as we share what He did for us during our time of need (v. 4).

As we reflect on Christ’s suffering, we can be inspired to persevere in the midst of our own pain, trusting that God uses our experiences to strengthen us and others toward patient endurance (vv. 5–7). Like Paul, we can be comforted in knowing that the Lord redeems our trials for His glory. We can share His cups of comfort and bring reassuring hope to the hurting.

Lord, thank You for using us to provide comfort, encouragement, and hope to others who are suffering. We praise You for all You’ve done, are doing, and will continue to do to comfort us through our own afflictions.
