How can anyone minister if he hasn't first experienced what others have? How can anyone minister encouragement to others if he has not been discouraged? How can anyone help others to trust God if he has never struggled with trusting God?
Jesus Himself became like us, suffering all the things we suffer in this world; "For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted." Hebrews 2:18
"Blessed be God...Father of mercies, and God of all comfort; who comforts 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." II 1:3-4Corinthians
