Come Out of Our Comfort Zone

God calls us out of our comfort zone. He draws us to Himself. He calls us out to shape and mould us. He wants us to hear His heartbeat. He wants us to taste His goodness. And our heart’s cry is “Lord! Make me pliable in Your hands.” The greatest work that God does in our lives is in times of greatest anguish. We are compelled to confront our pain, fears, and anxiety head on. The great concern is not comfort but during these moments, the Lord begins to speak into our lives.

He begins to restore hope in our bleakest moments. We may be out of our comfort zone but the peace and presence of the Lord cushion us from life’s harshest blow. The psalmist found the inner strength to sing and declare the praises of the Lord because of God’s sustaining love and power. Some of us may be yearning for our comfort zone but this is not for us to decide. Yet, many others have willingly stepped out of theirs because of God’s clarion call. This is a call to come back to the embrace of our God and Father. This is a call back to the heart of God. In His presence, He gives us peace, tranquility, hope, strength, wholeness and restoration. Our hearts leap with unspeakable joy because His love is better than life.
