Help Me To Be Uncomfortable!

Scripture

John 12

25 Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. 26 Anyone who wants to be my disciple must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me.

Observation

I don't think you will find the word “comfortable” in the scriptures, but that is what we always seem to desire. I don't find any place in the scriptures where Jesus was concerned with our comfort while we are here on earth. In fact, I see that He lets us know that if we are true followers of His that we will live a life that is uncomfortable, a life of sacrifice, a life totally contrary to the American dream or the American way of life. We are surrounded with creature comforts while the rest of the world doesn't even have enough food, or enough clothes or shoes for their feet.

I want to live out verse 26. How about you?

Application

I will ask the Lord to show me every change I need to make in my daily life to reflect a life that would make Him smile.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, show what needs to change in my life so I can be the disciple that You describe in verse 26. I don't want to miss out on how I am supposed to live out my life. I want to please You. Show me. Give me Your eyes. Give me Your heart. I want to make You smile.
