Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
He's the one who shows up for us when everything falls apart, so we can be there for others going through their own hard times, passing along the same comfort God gave us when we needed it most.
God comforts you so you can comfort others, it's a beautiful cycle of healing.
