Comfort and Joy

I find comfort and joy in the words comfort and joy.

When I’m needing comfort and joy, I draw on their honeyed warmth to revive my heart. Comfort and joy wrap around me with the love of my heavenly Father.

Comfort. And Joy.

2 Corinthians 1:3 (NIV)

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort

Psalm 16:11 (ESV)

In your presence there is fullness of joy

Psalm 94:19 (NHEB)

In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.

Psalm 16:6-8 (GWT)

Your boundary lines mark out pleasant places for me. Indeed, my inheritance is something beautiful. I will praise the Lord, who advises me. My conscience warns me at night. I always keep the Lord in front of me. When he is by my side, I cannot be moved.

Romans 15:13 (GWT)

May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
