“Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out in singing, O mountains!
For the LORD has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.”
Isaiah 49:13
In one of his sermons, Dr. George W. Truett told about an unbelieving couple whose baby died suddenly. Dr. Truett conducted the funeral and later enjoyed the blessing of seeing the couple come to Christ. Many months later, a young mother lost her baby; and again, Dr. Truett was called upon to bring comfort. However, nothing he shared with her seemed to help.
At the funeral service, the newly converted couple stepped to the girl’s side and said, “We passed through this, and we know what you are passing through. God called us, and through the darkness we came to Him. He has comforted us, and He will comfort you!”
When we have traveled the road of suffering,
We are more equipped to help other along
