Comfort

Sweet comfort is a lovely way
To ease feelings of stress.
We all need it from time to time.
It gives us peace and rest.

Comfort rejuvenates the soul,
Something that we all need.
But seeking constant comfort will
Our own growth sure impede.

Comfort will never help us grow
If we just take it in.
It's suffering for someone else
That helps us grow within.

Discomfort prepares us to serve
Each other as we live.
The more that we embrace our pain,
The less we fear to give.

Discomfort makes us stronger so
We all can learn to love,
And suffering for other's sake
Reveals our God above.
