Pay it Forward

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 our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3‭-‬4 NIV

What a great follow up from yesterday's post. We can't share what we don't have, and vice versa. People can't share what they don't have. If we don't give love, they can't pay it forward. If we don't give comfort to others they won't have it to share when someone they know is in need. That struggle you're going through is teaching you something that you can then use to help teach others. And in return you may receive a blessing from someone else paying it forward. This is the basic premise on which God bases his teachings. And it's how Jesus blessed so many. He taught his disciples who in turn passed it on.

In the middle of a struggle or low time it will be hard to learn. It's never easy grasping a concept when under stress. But as you come out of it and in your quiet times, ask God what you can take away from it to pass it on and pay it forward. Use what he does for you to bless others.
