Those very habits promoting emotional distance keep us from experiencing the love we so desperately long for and the love we are meant to give away.
Do I believe that God is right here, ready to be my comfort in every situation?
I have pursued the comfort of things, when all along Comfort is a Person.
When I harvest my life right up to the edges, I have collected every last kernel of blessing.
The abundant life Jesus spoke of isn't opposed to the material, but it consists of more than just the material.
What if our common sense has been negatively influenced by our addiction to comfort?
By extending love and comfort to the broken places around us, we keep watch with Jesus in his sorrow.
We need to retrain our brains, our hearts, and our wills to seek a comfort that truly satisfies.
Lifeless life is the very thing Jesus came to rescue us from.
