There is something else peace and joy will give you. That is Focus. I find so many people, in a bid to find purpose become so troubled, they keep worrying over whether they are fulfilling purpose or not. For others, they can't just seem to settle down or relax. Their minds are in too many things. They are always bothered about everything. They can't concentrate.
This is bad. Please, don't confuse multitasking for an unsettled mind. They are two different things. An unsettled mind lacks peace. This is not multitasking. Focus will come in when there's peace.
When I began to fight fear and worry, my perceptions began to change.
At first, I realized that I couldn't control any freaking thing. I didn't even know what will happen the next minute. Yes. Ask yourself, ‘can you control anything?’ No. You have no power over anything. You can't even create a strand of your hair. So, why kill yourself over something you have no control over.
So, why was I worrying about what wasn't in my control. I learned that worry was just a wrong interpretation of situations around me. I'll wrongly interpret a situation and somehow believe that it wasn't going to work out well and begin to trouble head.
And so, I let go. That was the point where I really got to understand what it meant to cast your cares on Jesus. I saw a whole new meaning to the scriptures that talk about how God feeds the birds of the air, and how come we, who are his children.
I just enjoyed life. Whatever wanted to happen should happen. I have no control of these things. They are beyond me. So, why should I bother. I learned to do two things. I did my best and then handed the rest to God.
And as I grew, my perception changed again. And this time, I learned again that it isn't actually necessary that whatever wants to happen would happen. I got to see that I had power and control even over the things I seemingly thought were beyond me. I saw that the elements of this earth could actually do my bidding. I moved to a higher realm of killing fear.
At this realm, I got to see a level of the kind of power I carried. That I could command the earth and it would obey. I could command the wind and it would do my bidding. This is heavy.
See, do you realize that I had to get to this level of power by first realizing I had no power. Vulnerability is a way to strength. Don't ever forget this statement.
This is it. Fear will limit you. Fear will kill you. Fear is a bastard. Kill it. Be anxious for nothing.
