You know that comfy spot in your warm ( but not too warm ) bed.? That ahhhhhh that feels so good spot. The point where you turn your pillow over and it is cool on your face and it feels soooo good? I love that spot. It feels just lovely doesn't it? Even though that spot feels amazing, if you laid there all the time it would begin to get old. If you didn't get up and eat, your body would eventually start to starve. You wouldn't be learning anything and you wouldn't be using any of the things you had previously learned, so you would be losing the knowledge. Starving and wasting away in your comfort....
Isn't that like life in general. You can stay in your comfort zone. All nice and warm in your "bed". Sure you are "safe". Free from the hardships of life. Free from embarrassment. Free from working hard. But also free from learning, teaching, enjoying, and letting your light shine! Wasting all that you could be!
Get out of your comfort zone today. Do something that will make your light shine brighter. Do something to better yourself. Do something to help someone. Don't hide your talents. Don't get stuck in a rut. Take the cruise control off. Challenge yourself. It's okay to enjoy some rest and relaxation once in a while, but don't stay there and waste away. Use up all the goodness that God has given you. You never know what might be around that next corner if you just get up and go find it. Ask God to lead your life and don't be afraid of where it might lead you. The best days of your life could be just ahead. Don't settle for just enough. Don't allow yourself to hold YOU back.
