My devotion today was in 2 Corinthians 2 where Paul is speaking to those in Corinth. He spoke of him who has caused you sorrow (some versions read "grief" or "pain") and that you should forgive him and comfort him.
Are you kidding me?! Like, how does God do that?? I get the text from my sis that my dad relapsed last night and may have surgery today and then I read this devotion, about forgiving and comforting the one who has caused you grief... unbelievable! And it isn't even the forgiving part because I dealt with that a long time ago. It's the comfort him part. Does he really deserve any comfort from me?
I groaned out load to God and huffed "fine" with my lips in a childish pout. So on my way to work, I called my dad like I always do when he is in the hospital, the good little daughter.
