What if we are all only afraid because we’ve settled for being comfortable? What if we are all only afraid when where we’ve settled is not where the Comforter is — because where the Comforter meets you isprecisely when you are outside of your comfort zone?
More than being afraid of a dangerous world, maybe we should be much more afraid of comfort zones. Frogs have died that way.
What if we all were more afraid of comfort zones because this more than possible:
What if every comfort zone — is just a death trap?
It can happen when you’re looking out at a field of wheat, looking out a window on an August morning:
When you’re tired enough of the news, you can go make news of your own — that tells of Good News.
When you’re tired enough of your comfort zone — you can start living in the dangerously alive zone.
When you’re tired enough of listening to all the talking heads, you can listen to the One who speaks to your soul. The One Who calls you to freedom of the expanse outside of comfort zones, to give yourself away and not be afraid. Life is too short to miss out on the harvest opportunity for which God has specifically blessed you for in the first place.
Because there is nothing worth having inside the gate when you’ve got sisters losing everything outside the gate.
Because you could do this: Every day you can do one thing that you wish you could do for every one. You can’t be a world changer until you serve. And you can’t serve until you break free of your comfort zone.
God asks you to look into the bucket of blessed seeds you’ve been given — and ask your heart how much you’d like to be part of a harvest.
