i wish i could do more than to say i suffer with you.

i am grateful he does no less than to suffer with you.

the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort... comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those... with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.  -  2 cor 1:3-4
