What if you had to choose between something comfortable and something umfamilar? Which would you choose?
The comfortable thing is "something" that you know a lot about and have had with you through every experience you have gone through. It is "something" that makes you feel safe and loved. You feel like this "something" is a big part of who you are today but you still wonder what it would be like to not have it. You wonder if your life would be better or worse and you ponder the idea of leaving this "something" but are afraid of the change and the unknown. Now say the comfortable thing changed? Say some how it's just not the same anymore. In fact say this "something" got better or say it got worse. Then what?
The unfamilar holds wonder and mystery. There is the road of getting to know this "something". It could lead to great things and then again, maybe not. Do you take the risk? Say if you choose this path and you knew it would send your comfy thing away. Would you still choose this one? With this "something" you are not sure how you feel about it but the thought of it becoming something that means more to you then the comfy thing ever did adds a little excitment. Say that, as for the comfy thing, your feelings for it had been locked away or forgotten that you are no longer sure what is means to you anymore.
My questions are........do you let go of what you know and embrace what might be, could be? It may be one of the hardest and most hurtful things that you have ever done but it just might end up being the best thing you could have done for you and for others.
Do you take that risk or do you retreat into what is safe and comfy? Do you give up control and give it to God? After all he knows what is best for you and he is your strength. You can have anything and do anything in him. But remember not everthing you want is what he wants for you.
Remember what it says in Philippians 4:13
I (we)can do everything through him who gives me strength.
