J.R. Miller emphasizes that true helpfulness comes at a cost, as every blessing we receive is a result of sacrifice and suffering. He illustrates this through the life of Jesus, whose healings required a giving of His own life force, and he argues that all valuable contributions in life, whether material or spiritual, are born from toil and hardship. Miller points out that those who teach and comfort others must first endure their own trials to gain the authority and empathy needed to truly help. He encourages believers to embrace their sufferings as a preparation for becoming effective ministers of comfort to others. Ultimately, he asserts that the path to being a true helper is paved with personal sacrifice and deep learning.
