It’s natural to turn to comfort during times of exhaustion and suffering. Comfort has its role to play, but what is the purpose of comfort?
The purpose of comfort is healing, rejuvenation, and renewal, in order to prepare us to face new challenges and opportunities in life.
But there is also a dark side to comfort. It is seductive. When comfort becomes the goal of our lives, we begin a debilitating downward spiral. Once we are addicted to comfort, it shifts from strengthening us to weakening us.
Comfort is a beautiful servant, but an ugly master. It will destroy you if you let it. It will sap your soul strength, leaving you morally, ethically, and spiritually paralyzed… which will prevent you from standing up for what is good, right, true, and just.
Once you start living for comfort there is no amount of comfort that will satisfy you.
