We can face trials and sufferings with assurance that our Lord has said I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Heb.13:5). God imparts an inner comfort that only He can give. This comfort of the Holy Spirit has a twofold effect. Not only are our burdens lifted, but we become qualified to comfort others by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. As we come to an assurance that God is our deliverer, we must share the Good News with others. We need to become encouragers. I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom; Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry (II Tim. 4:1-2,5).
