“God’s grace isn’t always comfortable because he isn’t primarily working on our comfort; he’s working on our character.”
~Paul David Tripp, “Whiter Than Snow: Meditations on Sin and Mercy ”
“Becoming Us” by Beth and Jeff McCord describes my Enneagram 9 self as “an easygoing person, you struggle being in a world that is rife with conflict and discord, which threatens the comfort you crave.” I DO crave comfort, both emotional and physical, and my Creator knows that living cross-culturally reveals my idols. I never get tired of gaping at the sunrise from my front porch, and I never grow weary of hearing reminders about how God is working in the lives of His children.
