THE COMFORT ZONE
THE COMFORT ZONE
Roger A. Davis
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children
Now, if we are children, then we are heirs—
Heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ
If indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.
ROMANS 8:16-17
It is not all pie in the sky, this spiritual journey we are upon
The joke goes, “You want the good news or bad news first?"
Good news is the Gospel of Jesus, life, death, resurrection
Bad news is good, too, we get to share a righteousness thirst!
What is this thirst? It is the Spirit making us desire the Will of God
What did Jesus suffer that we will share in? It was our sin
Jesus suffered in His body, the shortcomings of all who have ever lived
Going to the Cross of Calvary to take away all that would offend
So why do we then have to share in His suffering?
Praise be to God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion
and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort that we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings, so also you share in our comfort.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-7
Comfort for pain and sorrow for a hopeless tomorrow
Covering us in a quilt of compassion and care
Most people, not even aware of the sorrow that He shares
Snuggle and rest assured, Jesus will defeat all foe
Our inheritance is a lot more than this sometimes, earthly pain
All that we go through, our shortcomings and sufferings are for eternal gain
For our heritage is to be found in being a servant in His likeness
This is the greatest honor, to share and serve His Holiness
