Comfort

I constantly struggle with comfort.
I can't sleep with it too hot, I HATE close-toed and tight shoes (the inventor of the flip-flop is one of my heroes), and I generally don't like dresses (thanks to an odd body type i seem to have).

But another area in my life that i struggle with comfort is in my spiritual life. God calls us not to be complacent, but to go where we're probably not very comfortable.That includes going to other countries, or just to someone that we might not like that much. God has been showing me so much that I'm using the excuse of comfort to not move in the direction that He's attempting to get me to go. While I know that I will not be happy if I don't listen to the Father, it's hard to remember that I may have to give up things I've come to love, whether it be foods, activities, or relationships with others.
God's been hitting the relationship button lately. My heart doesn't want to give it up, but then the other day I read in Jeremiah: 'The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Who can know it?' (Jeremiah 17:9).
Please pray that I will listen to the spirit that lives within me, not to the deceitful heart with its fleshly desires, and that I will see my comfort in my Savior .
