End of Your Comfort Zone


 “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone”
 –Neale Donald Walsch

We are all faced with uncomfortable situations at some point in our lives. It might be physically, emotionally, spiritually, or just generally we have all be there. I know that you have been uncomfortable because you either have or will go through puberty and let’s just be honest that is uncomfortable for all of us.

However, how many times have you purposely put yourself in an uncomfortable situation? It is human nature for us to fall into a pattern. However, when we live our lives in a pattern we inadvertently push away the things that make us feel uncomfortable. Those commercials that talk about starving children we flip the channel, the ASPCA commercials we flip the channel…why? It might be because the images combined with Sarah McLaughlin singing “Angel” but it is also because it makes us feel uncomfortable.

It is not just life that begins at the end of your comfort zone. God’s plan for you is at the end of your comfort zone. At Catalyst 2012 Graig Groeschel talked about “certain uncertainty.” You destiny is at the end of uncertainty; your life is at the end of your comfort zone.

“To step towards your destiny, you have to step away from your security”
–Graig Groeschel

In order for you to do God’s work you have to go out of the comfort zone. You have to go to those that are hungry, go to those that are in need, go to those who do not know God. God does not say “sit stay and be comfortable” he says “go and make disciples of all nations.” Matthew 28:19

Let God make a disciple out of you and do something on purpose that makes you uncomfortable. Step away from the security, step out of the box, and find what God has in waiting for you.
