I've come to realize that some of the greatest changes in my life have happened when I was willing to step beyond what felt comfortable. And yet, even knowing this, I still find myself resisting change, holding on to what I know, and allowing fear to convince me that staying where I am is somehow safer.
But I've learned something along the way. Just beyond the discomfort of fear is often exactly where God is calling me to be.
Trying to keep life as it is would be like trying to stand still in the ocean. The waves don't care that you want to remain where you are. They move you anyway.
Life is no different. It doesn't pause for our fears or wait until we're comfortable with the unknown. Change comes whether we're ready or not.
So today, as the waves of life roll in, don't waste your energy fighting them. Lift your feet and ride. Loosen your grip on control, trust the current, and have faith that God knows where He's taking you.
After all, growth rarely happens in the comfort of standing still.
Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
I love you, my brothers and sisters. Life will always change. The waves will rise and fall, but our eternal souls remain steady in the One who never changes.
You cannot stop the waves, but you can learn to trust the One who carries you through them.
