COMFORT

We all like a bit of comfort in our lives. For me, coming back from a holiday-retreat, I find myself with a need for comfort.

So, what is this comfort that we feel we need?

Perhaps the best answer is found in what makes us happy. And, this can be different for each person. Some people's comfort works from the outside in, and others from the inside out!

A day of bright sunshine can cause us to feel happy inside, and this is good. We are in a natural state of appreciation for the beauty of nature and the gift of sunshine.

Others are of a more inward nature. They are moved by a deeper awareness of beauty, the beauty of the soul. Their need for comfort is fulfilled by love, and loving.

All of us are created to love because we are made in the image and likeness of God who is LOVE.

This is the secret of true comfort, to develop our ability to love, and be loved.
