Welcome to Verse of the Day! Todays Bible Verse:2 Corinthians 7:6-7 Nevertheless God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus, and not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more. (NKJV) Todays Inspiring Thought: The Snowball Effect of Comforting Others Discouragement and disappointment are common problems in todays world. But we have a God who not only comforts the downcast, he sends other believers to comfort them. If youre in need of comfort today, my prayer is that God himself will comfort you , and send others to your side to comfort you as well. What Id really like to address, though, is the snowball effect of comforting others. Note that in the above passage, God comforted Paul by sending Titus to him. But it didnt stop there; Paul was comforted even more when he heard about how Titus had been comforted by the church in Corinth. When we comfort people, we seldom think of how the comfort we give will in turn comfort others. If you take this to the logical conclusion, the others who are comforted will, perhaps, comfort more people, who will perhaps comfort more people, and thus, the snowball effect of comforting others continues. We have no way of really knowing how far our words of encouragement will go, but it is an amazing thing to think about. Taking the time to encourage someone today may have a far-reaching impact, even beyond what we can imagine. How encouraging is that! So, comfort someone today. Give a word of encouragement or a smile, or perhaps lend a hand to a friend or stranger in need. You never know who might be comforted and encouraged by your one act of kindness!
