Greatness Not Comfort

This is what we are about. To paraphrase Pope Benedict XVI: “The world offers you comfort but you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness!” I just got home after an evening jiu jitsu class...I didn’t win, the other men were younger and stronger, they wore me out...just what I needed. Are you afraid to lose? Are you afraid to push out of your comfort zone? I am...most of us are...this is the main reason I go to jiu jitsu class...to do something hard, to do something I don’t want to do...I’d rather eat and sit on the couch and watch TV (I don’t play video games) and too often I do! If I listen to my body all the time, I won’t achieve greatness. Our minds (intellects) need to run the show for us, not our flesh. If you want to RSVP your spot in hell continue to do only what you WANT to do. Matthew 7:14 “...the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” You were made for greatness not comfort. Do something hard this week, offer it up for someone who is suffering.
