Uncomfortable
Today I participated in a fitness class that I thought I was ready for. I've been in other classes that pushed me to my limit. This one - this one pushed me PAST my limit.
I told the instructor "I need to be uncomfortable. I will never change if I'm not". So, he made me as uncomfortable as I've ever been. I'm sore, tired, banged up and mentally trying to build myself back up before the next class!
As I sit here this evening it hit me, God wants us to be uncomfortable. He wants to push us beyond what we ever thought we could do. Take us to places we never thought we could go. Will you listen to Him? Will you let Christ make you uncomfortable? Will you say YES to what He wants you to do?
Its all about Obedience.
When God calls us to love our neighbors - it can be uncomfortable.
When God calls us to witness to a stranger - it can be uncomfortable.
When God calls us to go to a foreign land to minister - it can be uncomfortable.
When God calls us to give more of our paycheck than we would like - it can be uncomfortable.
When God calls us, it won't be easy. But He never promised it would be easy - just that He would be with us through it all.
My instructor today told me it wasn't going to be easy. It was going to be hard and he had high expectations. He told me I would definitely be uncomfortable. But, do I want to break through to a new level in my fitness? yes. Do you want to break through to a new level in your relationship with God? If so, get uncomfortable. And know, just like the instructor was there for me, God will be right there for you - cheering you on.
