Being Lost Is The First Step To Getting Foundનમૂનો

Do Not Disturb

We like comfortable. Comfortable is good. It makes us feel stable and secure. But have you ever considered that being a little uncomfortable can be a better thing—the thing that will grow you closer to God?

Peace and joy are often held up as the primary achievement, and we believe that if God does His part in keeping us from difficult situations, we will be satisfied. But we’ve all experienced that life doesn’t work that way. Although we want to hang a Do Not Disturb sign around our lives, they get disrupted anyway. It’s easy to believe that we know best. We know what we want and hope that God will join us in our plans. But when we remain in that comfort zone, we tend to lose sight of the better life God desires to give us. 

What if, by being a little—or a lot—uncomfortable, we were able to receive wonderful gifts from God that can only come during struggle? When we are finally forced to let go of the things we want, we are able to receive the things we truly need from Him. We can give up our small, safe ideas about God and begin to know a much bigger God. Our relationship with God will grow as we walk through the trials with Him and realize our dependence on Him. Although things may not be the way they’re supposed to be, we’ll discover that He is what gives our lives true peace and joy.
