“Comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, then a master. And then it becomes a tamer, and with a hook and whip it makes puppets of your larger desires.“—Kahlil Gibran
When I read this it was like an arrow through my heart. Comfort lulls into sleep. It makes it so difficult to leave said comfort for any of the “inconveniences” that following Jesus will always bring. Remember the Shulamite in the comfort of her bed when the King came knocking? She her comforted caused hesitation that cost her.
Contentment on the other hand is the outward manifestation that the inward reality of Him who his PEACE is living and abiding in your.
“May I always be Content yet never satisfied and never, never comfortable.” Amen
