Doing Hard Things

Sometimes in life, God calls us to make choices that aren't easy. In fact, sometimes He calls us to make choices that are very hard. Emphasis on the VERY. And you know why they're hard? Because naturally, we care about what other people think; we care about what other people expect us to do. Rocking the boat causes light to be shed on us, and sometimes its negative light! But no matter what it is for you, God sees how hard it is. And He still asks it of you nonetheless. We can be assured that God is in control, and He has a reason for asking you do make certain choices. If you always took the easy route, you would be stuck in the never-ending circle of a place I call wimpyville. Yup, wimpyville. The place in life that you get stuck in sometimes because building up the gut and muscle to make hard choices ISN'T EASY.
When you're going through a time like this, don't be afraid to ask for prayer and support. We all know how hard it is. Look up to people who are doing hard things in their life, who are stepping outside of their comfort zone so that God's plan can ultimately play out.
FREEDOM comes by stepping outside of the chains you're in when you live for your own, and other people's, comfort. You become stronger.
Don't live your life within your comfort zone.
God calls us to a radical lifestyle.
He also calls us to trust Him in everything, in ALL choices we make.
So don't worry about ANYTHING.
