I received a phone call today from a long-time friend who left the Truth several years ago. We had kept in touch over these years, but she had changed. There was no joy in her voice; there was no hope in her life. She seemed so empty, compared with what she used to be. The person I knew from years ago was gone.
Then I began to think of why?
Christ said that He would send us a Comforter from the Father. I know that there have been times when I have been very concerned and anxious. But when asking for peace from our Father, and when doing my part in leaving the problem in His hands, I receive peace.
I can leave all of my concerns and troubles with Him and He gives me this peace. It is such a big comfort when I experience joy and peace, and I can have this any time I ask for it.
Sadly my friend does not have His comfort right now. I pray that she will receive it again in the future.
