The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count

Apr 11, 2025    J Calaway

'The abundant life requires relentless commitment, not to comfort, but to calling.'


Let’s be honest—comfort is alluring, isn’t it? But as followers of Christ, we’re not called to a life of ease; we’re called to a life of purpose. Abundance isn’t about cozying up in the soft cushions of comfort; it’s about stepping into the challenging and beautiful work God has entrusted to you.


 Comfort says, *'Take it easy. Avoid risk. Stay where it’s safe.'* Calling, on the other hand, says, *'Rise up. Take a step of faith. Be bold in the mission I’ve given you.'*


Following Jesus isn’t always comfortable—it often requires sacrifice. (Luke 9:23)


But here’s the beauty: as we pursue His calling, we experience a depth of joy and abundance that comfort could never offer.


Think of:

Moses

Esther


Comfort never wrote stories of greatness—calling did."


Relentless Commitment requires trust (Proverbs 16:3), Perseverance (Galatians 6:9), and Focus (2 Corinthians 4:17-18)


So whatever you face Make Today Count with Trust, Perseverance and Focus
