The God of all comfort

I was doing my quiet time in the office pantry one morning, reading these words from the apostle Paul:

2 Corinthians 1:3-4
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

The part that caught my attention was this: "the Father of mercies and God of all comfort". As I thought about how our God is our God of all comfort, I looked out the pantry's ceiling to floor window and saw a beautiful sunburst over the Kallang River. Magnificent rays of sunlight were coming through some dark clouds.

After admiring it for a while, and making out a face in the clouds (God's?), I decided to take a picture of it with my handphone's camera to share it with others. So I went downstairs to get a better shot. Here it is:

As I went back to my office, I believe God said this to my heart:

"When there are dark clouds in your life, I am the God of all comfort, and I will come through for you."

Be blessed.
