Comfort.
Oh the things that bring us comfort….
- our home
- comfort food
- comfort smells
- a blanket
- a person
- a memory
I remember my granddaughter this week wanting her binkie. When only the binkie would bring that needed comfort. And she hummed as she finally got it in her mouth & she began to suck on it & receive the comfort she was sinking.
Comfort….that need to be soothed. To be reassured that somehow everything is going to be OK. To obtain that relief from what is troubling us. Comfort somehow wraps itself all around us & makes us know that, “This will pass.” Comfort brings a freedom, a release from the pain or anxiety we are experiencing.
Funny thing about the comfort we receive here in this world – it is temporary. We will find that we will need comfort yet again. And as I typed that last sentence, this is what I was reminded of:
“May your unfailing love by my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.” (Psalm 119:76)
Only the unfailing love of my God can bring me true comfort. And that comfort is a promise. And He is a God that keeps His promises. And so, He will bring me comfort – true, lasting comfort.
Some days, this is what comfort looks like š

Thank you for sharing! The love of the Father is unfailing and it is so good to remember and be reminded of this in a world that soothes itself in instant gratification. A temporary fix. Your words are encouraging and true. May you have a wonderful day. Many blessings and joy to you!

Joanne, these past days I have been blessed (comforted!) by your warmth and words of encouragement. I felt it just was no longer enough to just reply to your comment, so, I came over to let you know. Comfort! It’s a huge word for me, and yes, only the unfailing love of our Savior can supply this much-needed comfort. Thank you for blessing me. I send blessings your way, too.
By the way, your granddaughter is simply adorable!
I am so glad that you came for a visit š It is amazing how God can bring comfort in & through His people that we have never met. Thank you for sharing that! Jocelyn is truly a blessing & cutie! Thank you. Blessings!
Dear Joane
I sleep with a small pillow on my head since I was about 2 years old. That is my favorite place to be when I want to spend time with my Pappa God. Lying down, head under the pillow while having a wonderful conversation and time with my Beloved. By the way, I still sleep with a pillow on my head.
Blessings and love
