Stretch-Five Minute Friday

Sometimes we have to stretch ourselves out of our comfort zone if we want to grow in our faith. Actually, I think more often than not, we need to stretch ourselves in order to grow. When we are not stretching ourselves we become stagnant and complacent. We shrivel up and stop growing...we grow lukewarm which is the worst way to be.

So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16

The message version states it this way:

I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You’re not cold, you’re not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You’re stale. You’re stagnant. You make me want to vomit. 

So, today, instead of staying inside your comfort zone, why don't you stretch yourself and see how you grow? It is so much better than making God want to vomit.

On Friday's I head over to Kate's blog and join up with a community of bloggers as we gather around a single word prompt, set a timer for five minutes, and freewrite for five minutes flat — no overthinking, no editing, just write! Today's word is stretch. You can click here to see what other bloggers thoughts are.
