“Unwantingly,” interesting new word!!! I’m right there with you brother. “Unwantingly, but a necessary part of the journey towards maturity in which wisdom is found in the experiences of our successes and failures.

But fear has also been the very thing that has saved my life and helped me gain perspective of who I am without “remaining in Christ.”
There has been some odd encounters for me spiritually that have reshaped the way I see people and this world view. But, over the past few years I have seen God draw me and open my eyes to what this darkness is trying to keep us from. There are always two sides to the coin. The very things I have feared are the very things that draw me closer to Him. Lately I have questioned do I really want to let go of the things I fear, because these are the very things that have driven me to my closest relationship with my Father. Internalizing true fear will change a man considering a man should never fear “” At least that’s what I was raised to believe. True fear immobilizes you just like Isaiah in the six chapter. One that captivates you in “knowing” you are not in control of your next step, your next breathe, your next thought…
