Bring Joy to Others
In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”—Acts 20:35 (NIV)
He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.—Isaiah 53:3 (NLT)
Jesus is “acquainted with grief.” He understands your sorrows. When you are grieving, turn to your Heavenly Father. He knows you fully and completely. He is aware of your pain. He is with you.
Dear Jesus, You know my pain. Wrap Your arms around me and shower me with Your comfort.

My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.—Psalm 119:71 (NLT)
