Comforted to comfort

In his article entitled “He Knows,” Greg Laurie writes,

“Jesus knows about your suffering. When you are hurting in a bad way, it is great to talk to someone else who has been there. It is encouraging to see they are still standing, they are still alive, and they have endured it. 

As a result, they are able to comfort you with the comfort with which they have been comforted. And one day, you will be able to do the same for someone else.”
