It's easy to live within our comfort zones!
A few years ago, I had a contact in the DR Congo that I was ignoring. He seemed like a great guy, but we were busy in Kenya, and the Congo did not seem to fit into what I had planned and what made 'sense' to me. Besides, the Congo is a far more difficult environment than Kenya!
But, then I was nudged in a very clear way. A good friend was praying over me when he suddenly said, "I see two countries right now… one is the Congo." Oh boy!
So, responding to this divine encouragement, off we went to the Congo to begin what has become one of our most fruitful works ever! This causes me to ponder: what are we missing out on because we want stay inside our boxes of comfort and predictability?
How might God work if we opened ourselves more often to His unpredictable, divine whims?
Where am I not even willing to look because it does not fit in?
What boxes are we living in (religiously, culturally, comfort-wise) that are actually keeping us from greater life, fruitfulness, and joy?
Just saying...
