A Journey from Comfort to Courageous Living

At this moment, there's a palpable sense that the world is undergoing significant change. You might find yourself at a crossroads, facing a monumental decision that has left you uneasy. You've grown comfortable in your current state, feeling secure and at ease. Yet, there's a gentle yet persistent voice urging you to embrace uncertainty, reassuring you that there's a meaningful task awaiting your attention.

Perhaps you're experiencing a nudge toward reconciliation, an encouragement to extend forgiveness regardless of who initiated the discord. The emphasis is on your proactive steps to mend broken bridges and restore harmony.

Reflecting on acts of generosity, consider the numerous non-profits in dire need of financial support, particularly during this season. If you have been fortunate enough to receive a year-end bonus, this could be a golden opportunity to share your blessings and make a tangible impact.

Turn your attention to the workplace, particularly the new faces recently joining the team. Some may feel stressed trying to navigate their way in an unfamiliar environment. Their desks are just across from yours, yet you’ve not met. Why not be the one to break the ice? Extend a warm welcome, initiate conversation, and perhaps even invite them for lunch. Your gesture of kindness could play a crucial role in helping them feel integrated and valued.

Facing these challenges can feel like an internal tug-of-war, with your heart saying yes and your feet firmly planted. Excuses may swirl around you like leaves caught in a gust of wind, “This isn’t my strong suit,” “It’s time for someone else to step up,” “I’ll tackle it tomorrow.”

However, as time passes, the realization dawns that you are at a crossroads, faced with a critical decision: Will you choose to align with His will, stepping out of your comfort zone, or will you remain tethered to your desires and familiarity? How do you honor Jesus?

Today, I encourage you to ponder these questions. Bring your gifts to Jesus through prayer, praise, and acts of kindness. Today is the day to decide: What will your gift be?
