In the lives we live today, there are things that matter and
things that don’t matter. I have found that we (or at least me…) tend to put
more emphasis on the things that don’t matter. We dwell on them, when we should
be dwelling on the things that matter.
So you screwed up in that big presentation you gave due to
stage fright, or you messed up the song you were singing, or you were offended
by what someone said or did, etc. These are all insignificant things, but many
times we put lots of emphasis on them, but does it really matter?
Honestly in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t. All of
these small insignificant things are just drops in the proverbial bucket. While
the one little drop helps fill the bucket, it doesn’t overtake the entire bucket.
It may seem like a lot, but in reality, it’s just a drop.
Don’t fret the small things. If it doesn’t matter, then don’t
dwell on it, don’t worry about it! Lay it down and move on to things that
matter in the grand scheme of things, like “are you giving God your everything?”
Once this is learned, and it’s a hard one to learn, life
will go along so much smoother. (And let me tell you, I’m preaching to the
choir here.)
