Leaving Our Comfort Zone for Him

I think the quote below is a great illustration of how God wants us to grow, mature, and “stretch” as we trust more and more in the leadership of the Holy Spirit in our lives.


A saint’s life is in the hands of God as a bow and arrow in
the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the
saint cannot see; he stretches and strains, and every now
and again the saint says, “I cannot stand any more.”
But God does not heed; He goes on stretching until
His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly.
We are here for God’s designs, not for our own.

Oswald Chambers
