Youth Group Convictions

So Wednesdays used to be the best day of the week, now they are the worst. I have been complaining about going to this youth group because the students there are I dont even know, but not good. Last week in one of the discussions I mentioned that God did not call us to be comfortable. Now going to the youth group has been a little out of my comfort zone, but for the most part I have been comfortable doing my own thing. Then as I was leaving one of the leaders stopped me and talked and said basically that God has called me to minister, not be comfortable, and that if Im expecting to be comfortable I am in the wrong thing. Ok shall we talk about conviction. Besides that look at my attitude, I have been acting like a spoiled little kid crying about having to do something on the outside of my comfort zone. That is really messed up. So what if I am not comfortable, so what if my so called friends abandon ship, so what if I am not the most popular person on the planet, ultimately none of that matters.

How much?

Think for a moment if you will about how much everything you do costs. Last night, for example, I went to Target and bought a new purse for $16. Now think about how much it would cost to sponsor a poor child in a foreign country, that is approximately $32 - $40 dollars a month (compassion international), or a little more than a dollar a day. Do you drink soda? Do you buy a new water bottle every day? Now I am just as guilty as the next about that so I hope you don't think I am judging, however I want you to think about how much we could change the world if we stepped a little out of our comfort zone.
Pro-lifers out there don't forget tomorrow, October 20th, is the national day of silence so dress in red and give up your voice (if possible) by putting red duct tape on your mouth and write life on it. Give up your voice for one day for those who will never have one.
What do you say do you think you can let go of your comfortable little bubble for someone else?
