Everybody Needs to Know That Comfort Zones Are Often Danger Zones
To “do everything the Lord has said,” requires that we abandon our comfort zone. Now that’s a challenge that requires great courage.
When things are done in God’s order, they are often beyond our human comfort zone. Break out of your zone of comfort by seeking to follow and obey the living Jesus instead of your own thoughts, feelings, and desires.
Discomfort is a powerful blessing if you let it motivate you to improve your life. To repent is to go vice versa from your comfort zone inertia and to begin to move beyond the thoughts, feelings, desires, fears, worries, and behaviors that are keeping you stuck in familiar routine far away from the Christ-led zone. When people say or do mean things, it often means that they’re afraid and are desperately clinging to their comfort zone.
When church settled into being a comfort zone, Christianity lost its Spirit-led zeal. Comfortable Christians fear the Christ-led zone. However, if you’ll follow the risen Jesus off the exit ramp of your comfort zone you’ll begin to experience “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Amazing spiritual awakening occurs when people are willing to step into the Christ-led zone by opening their heart to His presence and obeying His inner promptings.
Your comfort zone is the place where the weeds of passivity, complacency, and mental vacancy are grown. When a crisis zone disrupts your comfort zone don’t stay there. Greatness comes when you let crises zones lead you to live your life in the Christ-led zone. Discipleship is to abandon your comfort zone and begin to daily live in the Christ-led zone.
Comfy zones
Make us clones
Who live like drones
Staying lost
In our phones.
To experience full-blown
Spiritual awakening
Be a yielded living stone,
Built together in God’s love
With others who daily live
In the thrilling Christ-led zone.
If you keep your heart
As hard as stone
You’ll never find
The Christ-led zone.
You’re never alone
In the Christ-led zone.
The risen Jesus
Is always with you.
Since I abandoned
My comfort zone
I’ve gradually grown
To learn to love
The Christ-led zone.
The Christ-led zone
Trains me to
Always enthrone
The risen Jesus
As the living Lord
Of my daily life.
Let the pain that’s sown
When your peace is gone,
When you’ve been thrown
Into a crisis zone,
Lead and guide you to
The Christ-led zone.
If you’ve always flown
Like a mindless drone
Within your own
Comfort zone
You’ve never known
The joy of
Being shown
The Christ-led zone.
When you feel alone
And outside of
Your comfort zone
Open your heart
To the risen Jesus
And step into
The Christ-led zone.
When you’re thrown
Into the cyclone
Of a crisis zone
And begin to groan
What you’re being shown
Can lead you into
The Christ-led zone.
The Christ-led zone
Has to be found
Outside of
Your comfort zone.
