Your scars could be the key that
unlocks someone else’s prison.

2 Corinthians 1:3-5 NLT

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.

Share in a way that gives God the praise

“All praise to God…He is the source of every mercy and the God who comforts”

God didn’t pull you of that dark place so you could keep it to yourself. He pulled you out so you can pull others out also. You have the power to turn your sorrow into someone else’s hope. To turn your pain into someone else’s victory. To turn your past addiction into someone else’s freedom.

Share with the purpose of providing comfort

“…we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”

“God often uses our deepest pain as the launching pad of our greatest calling –
He can turn your deepest heartache and misery into your ministry.”

Share because it adds to our own healing

“…the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.”

Your deepest pain might become your greatest purpose
Your darkest misery may be your most effective ministry
Your desperate heart ache could be some else’s greatest hope
