Hm? What does comfort look like to you? What does it feel like? For some, it is coming home from work and putting on your favorite slippers.  When your feet are relaxed and cradled in warm fuzzies, all is well.  For others, comfort is a hug. A shoulder to lay your head on as a loved one holds you. Your favorite pjs and a comforter, nestling you into your couch or lounger. A fireplace with logs crackling and a sip of brandy or hot chocolate as you let the dancing flames comfort you. A mountain top view. An ocean rolling its waves to shore. The list of comfort is quite long.

You can achieve that same wonderful “comfort” from His Holy Word.  Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” 1 Peter 5: 7 “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” Matthew 11: 28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your soul.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Nothing is wrong with getting comfy, be it slippers or snuggling on a couch, or resting your feet up on a lounger, but remember The Comforter is Jesus and He loves you unconditionally.  He is available 24/7, no matter where or when, He will comfort you and me.  I’m ready and in my ratty old bathrobe.  He’s waiting for you!
