Life is in phases.
As a child, you believe.
Anything is possible. Your mouth runs, your dreams fly.
You are yourself! No inhibitions!
No fears maybe the fear of physical pain.
Then the teenage years.
All that matters is acceptance.
"Feeling among". Being like your friends.
The tug: Being relevant or Being left out.
In their teens, most people lose their individuality.
When teen rolls by, "I" has been traded for "they". Only for a few does self remain.
For these few
The question still lingers : Who am i? Why am i here?
They know they are no groupies.
So they follow their instincts
Follow their heart.
Live as true to self as they can.
For the child of God, there is a further step.
The relinquishing of control.
The self handed over to the sovereignty of God.
Now you don’t own you anymore
Neither does the multitude.
He does.
It's neither at your behest or for their acceptance. God is your compass.
All you are concerned about is God’s heart and pleasing Him, your Adonai!
