We are a fragile species. One thing going wrong can mean the complete demise of our spirit. One friend turning against us and our response is simply, 'I will not talk to them again, never will I have anything to do with these people again!' Wait a minute, don't you think that is harsh?
Don't you think you are looking for comfort in the wrong places? No wonder you get bitter and rage with anger and disappointment.
But wait a minute, all is not lost. For God provides us with comfort and good cheer, if only we could seek it. Here is the proof:
God is a safe house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times.
Psalm 9:9
God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him.
Psalm 46:1
Pile your troubles on God's shoulders - He will carry your load, He will help you out.
Psalm 55:22
We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort - we get a full measure of that, too. - 2 Corinthians 1:5
