I came across this quote today, though the bolding is from me.
God does not comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters. ~ Dr. Jowett
I always want hard situations to improve so that I can be more comfortable (less stress, lack of relationship drama, absence of physical pain, etc). I want to be comforted for my own sake.
How much better it is to take that comfort and pay it forward?!

Good quote on redemption. I like it.
~Luke
Reminds me of a verse we studied in small group. 2 Cor 1:3-7 ... verse 4
who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
