Anonymous asked: What do you think of comfort zones? And what will happen if I leave mine?

godsradicaldaughter:

I honestly think that the best “comfort zone” is Jesus Christ. Because we are free, we can base our identities not on our feelings or abilities, but on Him alone. We can get our confidence and boldness from Him.

I think that it is important to always remember that it is Christ who defines us, knows what is best for us, and leads us because life is gonna throw us many situations in which we have to leave our comfort zones. When we know that we are free— we are not tied down anymore by our comfort zones because Christ has redeemed us and kept us in Him— we can stand up and step out; all the while trusting Him.

Stepping out of your comfort zone will make you grow, beloved. You do not only discover more about yourself, but also Christ in you. I also think that it is a great opportunity to experience what Paul meant with, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
