As foreigners / exiles / aliens, we're not meant to find comfort in this planet. Peter's reminder came to mind when I thought about this. He wrote, "friends, this world is not your home, so don’t make yourselves cosy in it."
Such knowledge could leave two different impacts on us. We either live aimlessly and without care for this world, or we become more careful to live properly among our unbelieving neighbours.
Personally, I take that as fuel to keep creating comfort when there is none. A comfort which isn't like what the world offers, but the kind that brings unwavering peace and contagious joy to those around us.
