"To ask that God's love should be content with us as we are is to ask that God should cease to be God: because He is what He is, His love must, in the nature of things, be impeded and repelled by certain stains in our present character, and because He already loves us He must labour to make us lovable."
-C. S. Lewis-
Come to Jesus with your heart and hands open for what He has prepared you for...let go of things that may look good but are not His will; because for you, what is not His tailor-made-will is not good, and what does not always look appealing may be His tailor-made-will.
Paul and Barnabas splitting up their ministries for a time after their disagreement over John Mark doesn't look or feel right when we read it, but Barnabas' one-on-one mentor-ship was just what the younger man needed to grow spiritually, and Paul and Silas embarked on the first missions trip taking the gospel to Europe, where the people thirsted for Jesus' love.
Lay down what is "comfortable" and allow the Lord to transform you in the rightness of your calling.
