 >HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE
 >(formerly Today's Verse)
 >by Phil Ware
 >
 >February 23
 >
 >Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
 >Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts
 >us in all of our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any
 >trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
 >     --2 Corinthians 1:3-4
 >       New International Version
 >
 >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
 >    We are comforted to comfort others. God doesn't bless us
 >because we are somehow uniquely better than everyone else, but
 >specifically to equip, empower, and encourage us to comfort
 >others.  God has human hands only when I use mine to his glory
 >and for his purposes!
 >
 >MY PRAYER...
 >    Tender Shepherd, there have been times when I was so broken
 >I could not go on.  I know the strength to continue came from
 >your rich grace and mercy.  Please use me this week to offer
 >your comfort and love to others so they may feel your warm
 >embrace and come to yearn more for the day we see you face to
 >face in heaven.  Through my brother Jesus, I pray.  Amen.
