Failure is an option…
I have a deep fear of commitment. It’s not that I fear what I’m committing to. I fear what I’m missing out on if I commit to something. It’s probably not uncommon, but it is a very real fear to me. It affects most parts of my life. I always play the “what if’ card. I don’t want to commit to that.. what if something better comes along…what if it’s not what I thought it was…what if I can’t changed my mind?.. needless to say, I’ve settled for staying put and not moving for fear of missing something.
It’s something I’m trying to change .. becoming more proactive and making decisions. The fact is .. failure is an option for me. If something fails in your eyes, does that mean God didn’t call you to do it? Success and failure are in the eyes of the beholder. I’ll take the failure if it means I’ve been obedient to what God called me to do. I believe many times people do something they believe God called them to d0, but when things don’t turn out the way they thought they would they immediately question if they heard from God. Resistance doesn’t mean God didn’t call you to it. Success is not always measure in dollars or number of people involved. My commitment is not to success or failure. My commitment is to obedience.
