Allowing Yourself To Be Comforted

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 
2 Corinthians 13:11 (ASV)

I would like to focus on two words in this verse–be comforted. Have you ever been so low that you didn’t want to be helped, comforted or encouraged? Sometimes we want to feel how we feel and can easily get stuck there. In this verse, the apostle Paul says to be comforted, and if we look at these words as a command, we can see that we should choose to be comforted and allow the help that others provide. At times, this is neither quick nor easy, but with God’s help, we can choose to be comforted. Let’s allow God, and others, to provide the support we need.
