One of the design choices that has made the Kingdom Hearts series so popular with gaming audiences across every walk of life is all of the unique worlds it contains for Sora and his pals to explore. But this level of variety requires a great deal of flexibility from our heroes… from The Little Mermaid and Winnie the Pooh to Toy Story and Tron, each mission Sora takes on brings him to a new area that requires him to change everything from his physical appearance in that level to even the style of gameplay in many instances. Success in each specific mission was rarely convenient… it called for him to step far outside of his comfort zone so he could align his efforts with the unique problem in each world that he was trying to solve.

Our service to the Lord will rarely involve us doing things that we find comfortable or easy, because that would make it tempting for us to depend on our own strength and capabilities instead of His. Jesus didn’t tell Peter to simply share His good news from the comfort of his fishing boat at his convenience… He took ordinary fishermen, pulled them out of their comfort zones, and turned them into fishers of men. We should expect that acting as ambassadors for His kingdom and fulfilling His missions will lead us down some challenging and unfamiliar paths… reaching every possible soul means stretching ourselves out to save them.

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
