You're right. In this day and age, people think if it's easier and more convenient, then it's the way to go. God doesn't always call us to do the easy thing. In fact, He most often calls us to stretch ourselves and go out of our comfort zones to reach others. We really need to get out of this mindset and be willing to go wherever God leads, even if it isn't convenient.
Agreed. Most of the time the right thing isn't the option considered convenient. Which makes sense if you think about it though....in a fallen, sinful world, the easiest thing to do is that usually going to be the thing that most closely follows the pattern of the world.... things are usually only hard when choosing them forces you to walk against the current. But it's always better to follow the Lord's leading, for sure!
