Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

It's only just a matter of it since we've got you left welcome welcome to

cissy larsen live so honored to get to spend this time with you in fact i look forward to bringing

you conversations every single day that hopefully inspire you in your faith walk the deep in your

understanding of god's word that heightens your awareness of his very real presence in your life.

Well, here's a tough question for you. Have you noticed that most of us tend to gravitate towards

what's most comfortable? You know, we don't always like a challenge. I often say,

we want a break, but God wants to bring the breakthrough, you know. We want just to get through

the moment and God is writing the bigger story and he wants

us to see to think long to see the bigger story he's writing in our lives we often wish for ease

and i think it's easy when you long for ease because life is hard you find yourself jealous when

you see others who seem to have it easier than you do and it just takes a moment to kind of get

into that ditch of despair when in fact everybody, most everybody's traveling with a broken heart and

everybody has things about their life that they wish were different. Well, I've got a pastor friend

years ago who gave me this analogy or kind of a word picture, diagram is a better word, and I use

it often when I'm speaking and I just think it's

fantastic because if we really want to do the things that God wants us to do become who he wants

us to become we've got to leave our comfort zone right and we've got to embrace things that

aren't always comfortable we got to take on our fears you know what we've got to shut down that

enemy and he's spewing in our ears so i want you to picture this is

where radio makes it a little tricky but picture a circle the circle that's your comfort zone

um he identified it as the known zone it's where you know your way around and the comfort zone
