Soft and Selfish

Never doubt.

 

Never worry.

 

Step by step the way to freedom must be trodden.

See that you walk it with Me.

Always come to Me first.

Calm is trust in action.

-God Calling

"The problem is,
if we live in the comfort zone and make accommodations for self-preservation, that zone begins to shrink.  Making accomodations for ourselves in this way makes us soft and selfish.    It takes initiative to engage in life, to do the important things.   God wired us for forward movement.  God wired us for a life of significance, one that involves faith and answered prayers.   None of this can happen if we prefer comfort over significance, or ease over engagement.  

We are made for growth, for transformation, and for others.     If we make life about us and about our comforts, we will tragically miss our whole purpose for living on the earth today.   Even amidst our everyday lives and familiar routines are opportunities to know God's love in an increasingly powerful way.   As we engage our faith in how we approach our daily duties, our children, our neighbors, or even our involvement at church, we'll learn to see God move in ways that surprise us. 

We'll learn to take risks in ways that no one else may notice but God.




Courageous and called people invite God to divinely interrupt our day so that we can participate in His everyday miracles."
