Coming out of comfort zone?
read the entry from 'our journey' daily devotion.. mm.. stepping out of the comfort zone.. thats like the zillionth time i heard this phrase.. its the norm for us Christians to grumble when things isnt the way we wanted it to be.. n how we responded to it is to walk away from it.. i am one of them..
no doubt i can say that i'm a slight degree of an introvert, am hopeless in starting conversations to ppl whom i dont really know.. of cos, talking to ppl i know very well is not a problem.. God have placed me in the position where ppl ard me are so different.. different family background, different spoken language (ok.. most speaks english instead of chinese which i usually do.. what r u thinking?!? =P), different ways of thinking, different degrees of openess.. of cos i do a few admist of us who shares the same areas.. they too face a bit of the problems i'm facing..
today's devotion entry really speaks deep into my heart in response to what i'm going thru.. i can give all kinds of excuses.. "we just cant communicate", "i find it so hard to strike a conversation with him/her", "i did tried but its still the same"..
advices that comes to me, "you still have got to try, just a simple greeting to just 2 new ppl to strike the ball" i've not started doing it, am hesitating.. cos 'i thought i've been doing it? but its still the same'..
2 new ppl.. greet.. not nessessary a long conversation.. thats all it takes? qns comes to my mind.. am i able to come out of my comfort zone? am i ready to go all the way to obey God in His righteousness to create unity in our Christian fellowship in order to please Him?
To follow Jesus means paying the price, and that price is incremental. He takes us to deeper levels of commitment and each time there’s a cost. So, when the time comes to do the hard—but right—thing, don’t procrastinate. Take the next step and trust Jesus.
I AM.. AMEN..
