2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Matthew 5:45 states, "He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." In this context, rain is a blessing, but does this truth not apply when there is too much rain, also? Something to think about when asking, "How can God let this happen to Christians?"

God Bless You!

--FEATURED POEM:

Is there a heart o'er bound by sorrow?
Is there a life weighed down by care?
Come to the cross each burden bearing,
All your anxiety leave it there.

No other friend so keen to help you,
No other friend so quick to hear;
No other place to leave your burden,
No other one to hear your prayer.

Edward Henry Joy
