PASS IT ON

PASS IT ON

II Cor. 1:3-5 All praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts us. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. You can be sure that the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.  NLT

       We have a mandate from God to pass it on. As we are blessed by God, we are to be a blessing to others. As we experience God's amazing grace, we are to come alongside those who are in need of the same grace in their hour of need and help them. Nothing in life that we go through is without purpose or value. God allows us to discover His ability to help us through all of life's circumstances so that we, in turn, can help others as they go through them. No one is unique in what they live through. Others have gone through it before them and others will go through it after they do.

       See the importance of your life experiences. What have they taught you about God?  How have they helped you to become who you are today in Him? Pass it on. You have a story to tell that will help others. Someone must hear what you have to say. Someone's faith may very well hinge on your testimony.

       Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace in bringing you this far in life. Praise Him for seeing you through the harsh circumstances of life. Praise Him for all He has taught you about life, faith, and Him. Praise Him and pass it on.

      Praise the Lord today for His wonderful promise. No matter how tough life may get, no matter how much we may have to suffer, there is an abundance of God's help to see us through. Let not your heart be troubled. Don't fret over those things you cannot control. Don't let life overwhelm you. Our God is able to see us through whatever life may bring our way. Let this wonderful truth comfort you. Press on in the all-sufficient power and grace of our God. Bring it on, for our God is able to deliver us!

     Praise the Lord for all those who have helped us in our times of need.  Praise Him for those who came alongside of us to help us get back on our feet and moving once again.  Praise the Lord, and pass it on.

       When you suffer and find comfort in the love of Jesus and the Word of God, pass it on.  God allows us to experience a wide variety of things in life so that we will learn a lot about faith and ourselves and so that we can share with others how the Lord has helped us when we experience what they are experiencing.  Those who know best what another is going through is he who has personally lived through it himself.

        Let the Lord use you to comfort and strengthen others through their times of need.  Let Him use you to draw others to Him for the comfort and strength He alone can give.
