"Comfort Zone"

“Comfort Zone”
1Thessalonians 4:18
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
Think of the last time you were truly uncomfortable. Was the weather so hot you couldn’t stand it or were you so cold you couldn’t think? Maybe you did something that made you uncomfortable or you were in the presence of someone that made you uncomfortable or the clothes you had on that day were to tight or too loose and you were uncomfortable. So many things can make us feel that way. The last time I was uncomfortable was the time it snowed about 4 to 5 inches and before the snow came sleet and we had a thin layer of ice covering everything. We couldn’t get off of work early and the snow was coming down swiftly. First of all I was very uncomfortable walking from the building to my pickup. I thought I would be in the horizontal position before reaching my destination. Of course the windshield and all surrounding windows and mirrors were covered and all I had to scrape that stuff off with was a little, short, plastic scraper. I do not drive in the snow because of the obvious and I am sure not tall enough or strong enough to scrape the windshield. Climbing upon the running boards, scrape I did. Cold and wet and with the hood of my coat over my head (I looked like a monk) and making one small stop at the store for milk, I was finally and very slowly on my way home. Wanting soooo badly to be home, I was miserably uncomfortable.
While reading my Bible in the A.M. this verse jumped off of the pages. Comfort one another. Of course the comforting words we are to speak to one another are found in 1Thess. 4:16-17. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. AND THUS WE SHALL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD!!!!! AMEN
SAY: I will forever be with the Lord!
