Thoughts to think about #5

Many times while sitting on the wooden pews at church I think how much easier it would be to listen to the message if I had a sofa! The Christian life isn't like that though. We cannot expect to have a comfortable life. Think of Paul, when he was Saul, he seemed to have an easy life. But after he was converted and became Paul, he lost that easy life and was constantly being hunted for. Why did he give up that comfortable position? Because of Christ's love, Paul truly realized absolute joy and peace we find in Christ, not comfort but love and true forgiveness.
