Comfort

For so long I have been living for comfort. I do not like to go outside of my comfort zone just like a lot of other people. But I think when we truly go outside our comfort zone is when we can experience life and God. Jesus said " If you love me, you will obey what I command" John 14:15 He often commands us to go outside our comfort zone, and give up things we so tightly hold on to.
So what does that mean he is commanding YOU to do? For so long I was looking at other Christians saying "Ok God has called them to do that so that is what I should do" But Oswald Chambers said " Never make a principle out of your experience, let God be as original with other people as He is with you." We need to be careful not to turn others lives into the mold of our own. Allow God to be creative, Pauls tells us,
There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
God created unique people to accomplish a variety of purposes though out the world. We must learn to listen to and obey God, especially in a society where it's easy and expected to do what is most comfortable.
