    I want the life of Jesus…

    Just without the cost of discomfort

    Confusing comfort for contentment will make us miserable.

    How do we let go of the unfair expectation that comfort equals contentment?

    We are often our own worst enemy when it comes to finding contentment

    I’ll be satisfied when my life is “filled more” with

    All of us have the default habit of dissatisfaction

    How do we get unconfused about comfortable equaling contentment?

    Jesus gave up the most comfort ever…

    Yet He lived the most content and exceptional life ever!

    Your attitude should be the kind that was shown to us by Jesus Christ, who though he was God, did not demand and cling to his rights as God…

    Philippians 2:5-8

    …but laid aside his mighty power and glory, taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men. And he humbled himself even further, going so far as actually to die a criminal’s death on a cross.

    Philippians 2:5-8

    Jesus gave up the comfort of:

    Place, Protection, Prestige, Privilege, Power, Peace, Presence

    And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”

    Luke 9:22-24 

    Then he said to them all:

    Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
    Luke 9:22-24

    For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.

    Luke 9:22-24

    Contentment doesn’t come from comfort, but from connection and purpose.

    Practices 

    Trust – In God
    Love – like Jesus

    Discomfort isn’t a reflection of God’s dissatisfaction…

    but proof of our Destiny
