Where To Find True Comfort

Sermon by Pastor Stephen Grace Christian Church Sunday Service

In our daily walk with God, there will always be trials and challenges that will cause us to be down and sometimes - break our hearts.

In Psalm 13:1-6, we read that David calls to the Lord and pours all his heartaches. Towards the end of his Psalm, he still praises God for he find true comfort in God alone.

Here on earth, who we are and what we have has been based on the standards of this world -- how much money we make or what title we hold in the company we work for.

We care so much of what other people would say about us that we often get hurt when we are criticized or rejected. Instead of praying to God and asking for guidance and comfort,
we Christians end up having a revengeful heart thinking "they'll see... I will do better and they'd regret they didn't pick me.."

God is the only One who brings true comfort because he is sovereign of everything that is happening in our lives. Human words and comfort are temporary and they don't really compensate to the heartaches that we feel.

Relationships that didn't work, jobs that were not offered to us -- they all have a purpose and God did this because He has set something better for us.

Two things that I have realized:
1. God loves Us
2. There is always hope with God
