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 Lord begins to speak into our lives. He speaks hope and courage into our hearts.

He begins to restore hope in our bleakest moments. 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 in his darkest hour. God comes in His love and power to embrace him.
 
God’s clarion call for each of us is a call to intimacy. The embrace of God brings us great comfort and solace. This is a call back to the heart of God. 

In His presence, He gives us peace and  tranquility. He floods us with hope and strength. He brings wholeness and restoration. Our hearts leap with unspeakable joy because His love is better than life.
