II Corinthians 1:3
Blessed be GOD, even the Father of our LORD JESUS Christ, the Father of mercies, and the GOD of all comfort.
Comfort means that we carry one another's burdens; exhortation means that we call a person forward; edification means that we build one another up. These three words; comfort, exhortation and edification, are the ways in which we can build up the Body of Christ. Negative words and images always tear down and weaken the fellowship, but words of mercy and kindness build up and strengthen.
I Thessalonians 5: 11 says, Wherefore, comfort yourselves together, and edify one another...
Do not allow the leaven of malice and wickedness to enter into the community of faith in JESUS Christ; it will destroy the unity and weaken the faith, thus weakening the witness. This is the devil's plan and he uses all willing people. We must always comfort, exhort and edify the whole community, so that together we will be strong in our love and witness of JESUS Christ in the world.
BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND BE WITNESSES OF HIS LOVE IN THE WORLD
COMFORT, EXHORT AND EDIFY ONE ANOTHER
