There are no such things as comfort zones when you live for God. God is going to challenge you, push you, nudge you and stretch you. Challenging you to toss off self-centeredness and live for Him. Pushing you to put scripture into action - to live a radical life of peace, love and mercy in this world. To change your community. To speak truth and shine the light in a dark world. This isn’t about feeling good or living a cushy life. Like a potter shaping clay, God will keep working on you - poking and prodding and sculpting your life and character - as He makes you into the person He’s created you to be. God has a purpose for you on this planet - and it won’t be easy. But it will be worth it.
