Crisis of Comfort

Hello everyone. Today,I'll like to talk a little bit about the problem or obstacles that we often faced in our daily life, because, I've been so stressful lately and i don't have a time for myself. Especially those computer thingy.

What is your goal in life ? Often our goal in life is to be comfortable because we are sick pf the problems and everything that come which messed up our life. Yet when our commitment to comfort affects pursuit of God, we become stagnant, bored, and depressed and that how i felt lately. When we always in a comfort zone,everything seems to be okay. Why? Because we always said we have time to do and we tend to extend our comfort zone. For instance, most of us , as a student , have to do a bunch of homework, when the examination is just around the corner, we said " I'll study later, i need time to rest now, i feel so exhausted ! " .and this is actually one of the way to avoid problems in life. We rest and rest until we didn't realize time has pasted. See,Our spiritual restlessness will continue to increase if we're trying to avoid problems in life .We're instructed, " Base your happiness on your hope in Christ. When trials come endure them patiently . "( 12:12 Philips ) . Notice that Paul doesn't say " if " but " when ". Every single one of us will encounter trials in life. What make the problem a different is the time we faced it is different and the lesson that we learned afterward. And maybe, we're in the midst of some challenges right now. And as we look ahead, more trials are probably right around the corner. It doesn't matter if you're young or old ( even baby has his or her problems, but most of the time, parents are there to assist them ), wealthy or poor: suffering is part of the life. No one is exempt from tragedy.The key is to remember that at the center of every obstacle is a purpose, a revelation of God at work in our lives. My dear, our strength grows as we lean on Him during our struggles.

God allows trials in our lives because the only antidote to the comfort-zone virus is suffering. You don't have to go looking for suffering. Suffering will come into your life. Every one of us experiences deep wounds as we encounter tragedy, loss and pain. I wish i could tell you that if you love God and pursue him wholeheartedly, you'll never felt like giving up . Amen, cause He provides everything for you start from the beginning. Its just you, who rejects it.
