Are you living within the margins of your life? Keeping yourself performing at your best in what you know and feel comfortable with.
For some, this might be very acceptable. But today, I want to challenge you to think beyond what you know.

One important thing to make note of is for the sake of this conversation, margins are not the rules of the land, the Ten Commandments, your ethical and moral beliefs.
The margins of your life come from how you were raised, experiences where you were successful, some failures, and where your heart and mind connect.
This is what you define as your comfort zone. It’s what you know and feel very secure in what is expected and what you deliver.
But what if you are wanting more in your life? Those dreams that go far beyond the margins that are set. The goals that broaden your horizon and opens other doors leading to your passion.
Are you living within the margins of your life?
As you ponder that thought, let’s welcome in our sponsor.

It’s easy to think that margins keep us focused and on track. The direction is more manageable; therefore, less stress and more success.
How true is that statement? Do you feel less stress being more comfortable?
For me, the answer is a definite no. Stress is not less working within margins. In fact, it can actually be felt more intensely.
Why??? You aren’t allowing your heart to bleed your passion. You’re placing unacceptable boundaries on what God sees as your destiny.
Are you living within the margins of your life?
Now understand that you can’t go off the deep end either. You need to work within your finances, your family, and your season of life.
But what do you think would happen if you let go of the margins you placed in your own life, or the ones you’ve accepted from others? —
Giving yourself permission to open your heart to God’s plan and living beyond the margins.
You might be a little frightened since you’re walking into the unknown.
But there is no reason to be fearful. Even God provided a way for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. (Daniel 3) You remember the story of how King Nebuchadnezzar questioned them for not worshipping his gods. He threatened to throw them into a fiery furnace seven times hotter than usual. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the fire. BUT they were not touched. They walked around freely in the fiery furnace.
If Shadrach, Medshach, and Abednego lived within the margins set upon their life, it would have ended differently. They would have been worshipping other gods.
Now this may seem extreme. But isn’t your life worth more than the margins you’ve accepted?
So how can you live beyond those margins?
The K.I.S.S. ~ Crush the margins!
