This is a powerful passage. The God of the Bible is one of compassion. He comforts us when we go through trials. But it doesn’t stop there. Our troubles give us a vocabulary to help others who are going through the same thing! We may think that our circumstances make us unable to minister, but the Scripture tells us that the very weight around our neck can become the launching pad for ministry to others. Where others see failure and struggle, God sees the qualifications to be used mightily. No wonder the apostle Paul went into praise!
Good portion of the bible there.
Most often, we go through situations as such just to be used by God to comfort others as we know what it feels going through same situation, having been there ourselves. Jesus took our iniquities and carried our sorrows.
He went through suffering and pain so as to feel it when we are in pains.
It would be very difficult at times to assist/comfort someone if u don't feel their pains, when u have no idea of how it feels about what they are going through. We get to comfort others with the same comfort we ourselves were comforted - you feel it as if it were happening to you. You take it person
