In Pursuit

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

I’m someone who enjoys finding herself in her comfort zone. It’s there that I have no anxiety attacks, I find peace in the known, and I’m not stretched beyond my limits. It’s a safe place for me to be, a place that I would never dream to leave.

If I’m to be honest, I would say that every believer’s comfort zone is found behind the wide gate. In the passage above, we are told that behind the wide gate is a broad road that leads to destruction. Sometimes (let’s be real, all the time) our comfort zone does lead to destruction. What I mean by that is this: it keeps us from being more. It destroys us from experiencing so much more outside the box and, in turn, stunts our growth to being the person God created and called us to be.

We are to be in pursuit of becoming more. But, how do you plan to grow if you have no room to stretch? 

Behind the small gate is a hard road to journey, but that road leads to life. A life to live for God in all we do. A life to experience new things. A life to step outside and do more than we’ve limited ourselves to. We weren’t created to live in a place of comfort, we were created to live in a place of discomfort. And, in a way, it’s even there we get to find the Comforter. 

Friend, God is going to comfort you as you walk down the hard road. Don’t be so caught up in comforting yourself that you miss out not only on the comfort God has to offer you, but the life He’s called you to live.

Chloee Jean is a co-founder of We His Kingdom, a Podcaster, a Digital Creator, Worship Leader, Social Media Manager, and a firm believer in Christ. She was born and raised in a Christian home and spent her days as a little girl singing songs, playing around on the piano, and drawing with her crayons. After years of hardships and trials, Chloee found escape in her music and writing her own lyrics. She pursued a Worship Leader certificate at Bethel Music’s Worship School. When she completed her course, she led worship with her sister, Aliseea, at a small youth group they were both currently serving in. After they both stepped down from that role and during 2020’s pandemic, Chloee started her own podcast called W.O.W. She now finds joy in speaking God’s Word, singing about it occasionally with her sister, and creating digital designs to point others back to God and His Word. When Chloee isn’t designing or podcasting, she spends quality time with her family by having game nights, a movie marathon, or even jamming out to some worship songs.
