God does not seem comfortable with our excuses and we shouldn't either.
Luke 5 records for us an account of a man brought to Jesus.  Jesus healed
the man because those who brought him ignored the excuses they could have
made in bringing the man in.  The man himself could have used many excuses
as to why he could not have gotten to Jesus for healing.  Verse 24 tells what
Jesus said to the man:  "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your
house."  What excuses do we use as reasons why we are stopped from listening
to Jesus.  "It is too cold" or "I am too sick" or so many others.  We need to ask
ourselves, "Am I really comfortable with the excuses I make?"
 
Have a great day!
