My Comfort

We so easily say God's our be all and end all. Being in a new country every month, having to adapt to new cultures and different weather just about every 4weeks we find comfort in our Bibles, God and time spent with Him. Even if we lack in commitment toward spending time with Him, at least we know He's always there.

My question and what I'm faced with after our blessed time in New Zealand is whether God will stay my comfort when I'm back in my comfort zone. Is God my comforter now because everything else is unfamiliar or because He is all I want and need?

Shamefully I have to admit that I'm an extremely lazy person and my couch or bed use to be where I was most comfortable. In my heart I would want that to be all part of my life before GCX, but will I be able to do that? Will I be able to, even in familiar surroundings and situations go out of my comfort zone and have God as my only comfort?

I'm asking these questions aloud to share what's in my heart and mind. Honestly I cannot give you an answer but I can tell you this: Going out of your physical, emotional and spiritual comfort and finding God as your only comfort is rewarding. You get put in situations where you can make a difference and are shaped into a better person yourself.

So this is my conclusion: I want to have God as my only comfort regardless of where I am on earth or what I have with me. This is my desire for the rest of my life, to find comfort in God, always.

 Love
