I’m warm and comfy.
I settle in, nestle.
Something catches my eye and I glance up. Then I feel a nudge.
I shove it away and close my eyes to the light.
I hunker down and nestle deeper.
The nudge returns, stronger, but I shift my weight, find a soft spot, and pull the cover up.
But the warmth dissipates. The cover’s protection wanes.
That light I shut my eyes against? I feel its warmth.
And the nudge? When I look closely, I see it’s a hand.
When I reach out, I’m bathed in the warmth of the light and gripped by a warm, strong hand.
Supported by love, I step from my comfort zone.
What am I learning about God’s love? It’s there, it’s warm and faithful.
It nudges me from my comfort zone, but I don’t step out alone.

Oh, we are so blessed to be loved by God! Thanks, Laura.
So gentle, this God who loves us so!
We just have to trust in Him. :o)
wow! I've heard it said that if you are comfortable, you aren't in God's will. Not sure if that is always the case, but.... wow!
Beautiful word pictures. I like to call that the "groan zone"---moving out of comfort always leads me to a little groaning, but it is always worth it.
This is absolutely beautiful. Calming, welcoming, a whisper of the One who knows...
Oh I like this, Laura!
Laura, you are creative.. ! Loved how it was used to bring us to God's love in this post!
