By extending love and comfort to the broken places around us, we keep watch with Jesus in his sorrow.

Lifeless life is the very thing Jesus came to rescue us from.

We need to retrain our brains, our hearts, and our wills to seek a comfort that truly satisfies.

What if our common sense has been negatively influenced by our addiction to comfort?

The abundant life Jesus spoke of isn't opposed to the material, but it consists of more than just the material.

When I harvest my life right up to the edges, I have collected every last kernel of blessing.

I have pursued the comfort of things, when all along Comfort is a Person.

Do I believe that God is right here, ready to be my comfort in every situation?

It feels so good to be happy.

I won't give up the diary again. I must hold on here, it is the only place I can.

Take everything as it comes; the wave passes, deal with the next one.
