Be comforted, dear soul! There is always light behind the clouds.

Those who have been too long at their labor, who have drunk too long at the cup of voluptuousness, who feel they have become temporarily inhumane, who are tormented by their families, who find life sad and love ephemeral; they should all eat chocolate and they will be comforted.

Our cravings canno't be comforted by our creativity, although we like to think they can. A million words after writing 'Look Homeward Angel' Thomas Wolfe was still tormented. After a million notes, Beethoven was not happy, after a million brush strokes, Van Gogh cut off his ear.

Blessed and enviably happy [with a happiness produced by the experience of God's favor and especially conditioned by the revelation of His matchless grace] are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted! [Isa. 61:2.](AMP)

You think you are complicated, deep mystery to all. Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special. All energy, no meaning, with a lot of words. So paper thin that one real feeling could knock you down. So see you when you're 40, lost and all alone, Being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know. Not sad because you lost me, But sad because you thought it was cool to be sad. You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd, well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out. I wouldn't have picked you out.

(NIV)
That is, that we may be mutually strengthened and encouraged and comforted by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
(AMP)
That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
(KJV)
