We located 50 verses that speak to the words comfort and peace.
The word comfort does not roll off the tongue with a softness that you would expect of a word that holds so much feeling… When I think of this word I slip away into my childhood days… I had many bouts in the hospital with what was known as croup… I can remember my parents were there. They helped me feel safe and secure… and as I traveled in this life they have never waiver. They have always been that shoulder I can cry on, that heart that understands, and that hand that I can hold at the end of a trying day…
I have been blessed to have experienced this in my earthly life. And now when I look at my Heavenly Father, I can relate to His comfort on a much higher level … We can find comfort with people in our lives… But life is fleeting… The comfort our Father gives is a peaceful slumber of the heart… He gives us hope through His amazing Son Jesus … and then we have one of the greatest comforters of all times the Spirit who dwells within … He is our unsung hero. Now you ask me how He can be better than God or His Son Jesus. If I have not shared this with you, let me start by saying it’s Him. He is the most remarkable 3 in one soul I have ever grown to know… He is my comforter, He is my guide, He is my Savior.. and He loved me first … and I am committed to loving Him with all my heart and soul…
I yearn to one day hear well done my child well done.
And at that moment, I will know that He found comfort in me…
He is my great I Am!
It’s Him, It will always be Him!
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
