The Heart Is A Fragile Instrument

The Port Of Doubt And Worry

The heart that places its well being firmly upon the foundation of tomorrow's hope will protect itself from vulnerability's strongest hold

     The infinite power of an omnicient creator is so spectacular, it defies mere understanding.  This is especially true upon examination of the creative uniqueness of the human heart.  The heart is a beautiful, and magnificent vessel of promise.  Its potential to develop beyond its boundaries is mind boggling.  Yet, the extent of its delicate and fragile nature can be truly surprising.  It is an instrument of possibility that yearns for the seeds of inspiration and encouragement that will nurture it to grow beyond any expectation.

 

     However, if the journeyman's heart becomes susceptible to the anchors of the journey, it can alter things.  So, what are the anchors of the journey?  What do they mean?  They are five stumbling blocks that can deter a path to dreams and success.  These five factors are:  doubt, worry / fear, anxiety, hatred, and jealousy / envy.  

 

     Doubt is probably the most powerfully destructive anchor.  It is a negative force that counteracts the possibility of something good.  If this anchor takes hold, it can deter the beauty of inspiration from nurturing potential dreams and great things.  The second most powerfully destructive anchor is worry / fear.  This is a negative force that counteracts the potential of faith and trust.  If this anchor takes hold, it has a crippling effect that paralyzes the journeyman's heart from believing in the reality of positive things.

 

     The third anchor is anxiety.  This destructive force has a two fold effect:  stress, and anxiousness.  Stress is an unrelenting feeling of helplessness brought on by negative outlook and beliefs.  Anxiousness is a destructive feeling of nervousness.  This anchor can stop the journeyman from having and increasing strength and endurance to persevere.  The final two anchors are hatred, and jealousy / envy.  These anchors differ from the others, yet are more lethal in that they are directed at another person.  They are the third most powerfully destructive of the anchors for two reasons.  They stop success, and also deter the growth of the greatest part of the journeyman's heart:  love, kindness, and the bonding relationship with others.

 

     So, how does the journeyman become susceptible to the anchors of the journey?  Some might say it is the imperfection of the human nature that is the cause.  But, mostly, it is due to the weakening and reduction of the strength and beliefs as the rugged foundation that solidified the journey.

 

     What can the journeyman do to get back on the journey road?  It can be summed up in just two simple words.......faith and prayer.  Prayer to that powerful creator and a willingness to get back on track will restore the definition of the mission and empower the eternal strength of the heart.  How can future anchors be avoided?  They can be overridden through the power of a mighty and magnificent God.
