Who Is Your Comforter

The Message Bible - Isaiah 54:11, “Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied: I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise,

 

Lay your foundations with sapphires, construct your towers with rubies, your gates with jewels, and all your walls with precious stones.

As women there is something within us that desires to be comforted. There is nothing wrong with

this, but the question is, who is your comforter? Sometimes we forget that we can go to God for anything. The word comfort means to soothe, console or re-assure; bring cheer to. No one can comfort us like the Holy Spirit.

Along this journey called life, we face many challenges. At times you may feel you are alone and no one cares. This is when our judgment or reasoning becomes impaired. 

Most often we seek solace in another person, to console, encourage, or basically play the role of the Holy Spirit. For many of us it is usually a man regardless of what he looks like, his status in life, whether he is married, single divorce, jobless, etc...as long as he is there. It may satisfy you for a while, but when that short season is up, you are left feeling depleted of life because that person was never created to fulfill you, but God only.

When you allow the Holy Spirit to comfort you, He strengthens you and gives you peace. He restores your soul, mind and spirit. He rebuilds and lays your foundation with sapphires, and He causes you to shine like a precious jewel.  Help us today Lord Jesus as teens/woman to desire your Holy Spirit to be our comforter.
