Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be?
You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.
That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.
But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth,
where righteousness dwells.
(Dis)comfort.
I live in constant, paralyzing, anxiety at the thought of my own discomfort.
I dis people who could possibly bring me comfort because I worry that our differing values systems will cause me great discomfort. I feel old. I feel like a prude. Sometimes I feel like a parent when I should be a friend. Sometimes I feel like the one that has to be the wet blanket on choices that could lead to undesirable outcomes.
Shouldn't we live holy lives?
Shouldn't we live holy lives?
(Dis)comfort.
It causes me to stay inside, to reject invitations, to sacrifice friendships all so I can avoid discomfort.
This isn't limited to social groups. I do this to family too.
Change brings discomfort. Celebrating our first Christmas without our matriarch is already bringing too much discomfort. What do you mean we are changing locations and doing things completely different? My desire to keep comfort when there has been too much change instead brings alienation.
We all deal with our discomfort in our own way.
Yet, I cannot bring myself to step out of my shell and dis comfort to take a chance.
