Parenting Quote by Neta Jackson
““Turn to Second Corinthians, chapter one, and read with me starting at verse three.” He waited a few moments. “Paul’s speakin’ here when he writes, ‘God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with his comfort through Christ.””
