While
I was serving in the military after graduation from high school, it was customary
to hear disgruntled voices complaining about duty assignments. I also was dissatisfied
with my assignment. When I was stationed in Florida, I became friends with a
young man who appeared too bright and intelligent for his assigned duty.
I often hear clients grieving over
wasted years spent in a career for which they were unsuited. A woman related
how she gave up opportunities to excel when she was in her twenties because she
feared failure. What perpetuates this attitude? Could it be failure to trust
the capabilities that God himself has given to you for achieving his good
purpose?
It’s
scary to think of being stretched to the limit of your capabilities. Failure to
live up to your capabilities could be driven by fear of future failures. However,
fear can be overcome by trust and faith in God's purpose for you. God's perfect
love conquers fear, so depend on your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ to control
fear’s power.
