Warning: Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone Takes Guts

Getting out of my comfort zone to make Jesus real to others takes guts. I like my zone of comfort and I am not easily moved from a place of security, safety, and bonbons. I had a hard time letting go of my blankie as a kid, too.Teresa of Avila knew that the only way to make Jesus famous was to be Jesus to those who had no concept of love in human form. She wrote “Christ’s Body” as a way to remind us that we have to be Jesus with skin on.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours;Yours are the only hands with which He can do his work,Yours are the only feet with which He can go about the world,Yours are the only eyes through which His compassion can shine forth upon a troubled world.Christ has no body now on earth but yours.-Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

This weekend a group of women and I are headed up to San Francisco to share a small portion of God’s justice and love with "ladies of the night." We’ll be working with the San Francisco Youth With A Mission base focusing on Because Justice Matters. This is our first all-women’s mission trip and I hope to see more of them launched from Father’s House in the coming days.How’s your level of comfort? Mine is being challenged.

In Him together, Susan Gaddis
