I've become too comfortable.
For the past four months, I've had the great blessing of constant Christian surroundings. There was Highpoint, and there was Brookhill, and there's been Wesley and church and so on. The thought of multiple worship services in a week's time would have completely put me into shock this time a year ago. My sources were limited at home, and here they are endless.
And yet, I've become so used to the water that I don't want to get out and feel the cold air.
I've recently realized that I've become too complacent in my spiritual walk with God. Too satisfied with what I have, when I should be yearning for more. Sure, I'm growing, and I'm practicing what I preach...but what fruit am I bearing? Who is coming to know Jesus because I know Jesus? Where is my compassion for those who don't know him? Why am I not sharing my passion? Because I'm scared? Because I'm afraid of what people will think of me? Because I'm lazy? Because I'm comfortable?
I want to step out of that comfort zone; to break down that spritual Christain bubble that I've formed around myself and my Christian friends. I don't want to be satisfied. I want a desire for more. A desire for growth. A desire for a greater passion. A desire for them.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but one of power, love, and self-disciple.
2 Timothy 1:7
