Being Comfortable

I was reading an article this morning on Texas Governor Rick Perry and his thoughts on running for President.  You would think that it would be the dream of all politicians to be the President but it is not the case with Gov. Perry. He was quoted as saying he’s “getting more and more comfortable every day that this is what I've been called to do. This is what America needs.”   I thought to myself isn’t this what we all have to do in life we have to become comfortable with what God has called or not called us to do.  Some people have been called to the ministry and even though some may think that all Christians dream of being a pastor it is not the case.  I myself had to become comfortable with what God called me to do.  Many may think that all Christians, want to go out talk to as many people as possible about who God is and how they need saved, sorry to disappoint but that’s not true.  But there is something in all of all lives as Christians have been called to do and that is live for God.  We have to be able to show the world who God is through how we treat each other and those around us.  You may say the ones around me the most are my kids, then show your kids Gods love.  Maybe the ones your around a lot are your co-workers then show them God through your work ethic and taking time to listen to them.  We need to work on being comfortable with showing people the Love of God.  I think of Isaiah when he was called his words where “My destruction is sealed, for I am a sinful man and a member of a sinful race. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord Almighty!” (Is 6:5)   I don’t think that Isaiah was thinking I am going to be called to and be prophet for God, or that he was even comfortable with it.  But when asked who will go he yes, in life we have to do things that make us uncomfortable.  We must become comfortable with who God has Called us to be in our life.
