“Suffering does not equip us to help others who experience suffering. It is the experience of suffering AND BEING COMFORTED that gives us the resources to comfort others. The person who has not suffered has not been comforted, and so cannot be of great help other sufferers. Likewise, the person who suffers and has not been comforted also has no comfort to offer. It is not our sufferings that equip us to comfort others, but the comfort we receive from God when we suffer. God is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort and meets all our needs, then we draw on that comfort to comfort others.” -Tom Stewart
