Race horse or Wild horse

Have you ever heard or saw something that seemed OK for the first few moments but something inside you warns you that something is off but you just let it pass by uncommented?

Today I heard somebody talking about emotions and that we should not control / alter the way we feel because it would be untrue to our hearts.  Most people ”specially romantic people that put allot of thought in that kind of stuff“ without much thought or hesitation would tend to agree with this statement. At that time, I didn’t comment in agreement or disagreement because I simply wasn’t comfortable yet I had no good reason to object.

Several hours later in the evening after completely forgetting about the whole thing I felt God leading me back to that statement giving me a vision of 2 horses; a race horse and a wild horse. I heard God in my heart asking me, which one in this situation would you rather be? A wild horse or a race horse??

For some reason his voice was clear…a race horse!…..because a race horse reaches his destination, has a goal, is focused, is dedicated, and allocates every muscle and thought to winning the race. On the other hand, a wild horse is confused, random, is not guaranteed to reach anywhere and will most likely cause his rider to fall!

How does this relate to controlling how we feel? I believe we can still be open and pour out our hearts while being true if we control which direction it sprints, just like a race horse after being trained.

Some would argue that not knowing where you end could be adventurous and fun. I say if I know that I’m a winner I can put in my all and enjoy the adventure along the way with the guarantee of winning.

Choose to travel a road that you are called to, do not a settle for a random road, it’s a waste of time!
