Focus on the fruit, not the fright

A morning that changed everything

It was a random morning in 2023. I woke up with no motivation—too tired to sleep, too drained to work. The weight of problems clouded my thoughts. I just wanted to breathe and find the solution for all the problems I was going through. With confusion and tension, I got ready to go to morning classes, hoping to distract myself from overthinking.

Here, after class, I was waiting for my friend and also crying inside. Meanwhile I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see. Surprise! It was one of my school juniors.

Hello didi!

How are you doing?

Before I could even say I am…..

She continued, arrey didi, I need not ask if you're doing good. I already know about you and your work. Everyone has been talking about you. You have really inspired me and I have read your book from the school library.

Thank you was the only word I could utter.

Her unexpected words brought tears to my eyes. In a moment, I remembered the little girl I once was- Evangelin- who dared to dream, which is now a reality but none would be possible without the grace of almighty. The moment reminded me : Life is a beautiful blend of joy and pain.

Life doesn’t require us to always be cheerful, but it does invite us to be grateful. Moments of joy and sadness often walk hand-in-hand. One hour you might be laughing, and the next, you might be in tears. That’s normal.

But here's the key:

Don't ignore the tiny conversations, compliments, and victories that made you smile. Give God praises and celebrate them like they're milestones.

Happiness might not vanish sadness completely but happiness gives you hope to overcome sadness and feel joy.

We spend enough time being fearful and we barely take time to appreciate the fruits that we are already bearing. Those fruits will ignite your faith as they remind you about God's goodness that has carried you this far and he'll remain faithful for the coming days too.

Stop feeling sad about all the wrong things that happened in the past months. Instead celebrate the reasons you've got to celebrate. They'll remind you that your latter days have still got hope and they'll be better than your former days. Look back and remember the past six months of 2025. There are many happy moments. Go! Celebrate them and look at the next six  months and say, I've got the hope to move on and face you with faith because my story says God didn't lead me this far to leave me where I am. He'll carry me forward too until he fulfils his purpose for my life.

To summarize, focus on the fruit rather than just focusing on the fright. You've got it.

The mindset of a victor : Lessons from a slippery road

My mom was invited to preach on Palm Sunday.  As it was Sunday, I joined her too. Our destination was around 200 km away from our place. We traveled and now arrived at a place which was a few kilometers away from our actual destination. They sent a bike to pick mom and have forgotten that their guest has got a daughter who is always behind her.

Bike arrived. Thankfully that brother didn't look at me like an extra passenger but greeted me. Now I looked around. I couldn't differentiate between road and field. I've seen village roads with potholes but this one was extraordinary. If you place your next foot, you'll end up breaking your spine. We were getting late. Finally I concluded, the road is the reason we are stuck, not me.

Anyways, someone stopped their bike and was kind enough to give me a lift. Despite fear of falling, I somehow gathered some courage and the journey started. I thought that the person was kind enough and he'll ride slowly to ensure my safety. My expectation wasn't true. On the slippery mud road he was driving at 40 speed.

I was full of fear but he was like going to war with full of courage.

My prayers started going to heaven. God, please listen. I have 108 dreams pending. Please don't make me call 108 at this moment.

We drew a little far and I witnessed much more horrible ways with stones, thorns and what not.

I need not mention my thoughts at this moment, oh my gosh. It would have been better if I had stayed back home. I looked for mom and she was nowhere nearer.

After a while, I realized that we made it to the village. Is it with broken legs? Here is the climax.

I ran to my mom, sighing. Mom exclaimed, that sir who gave you lift is an ex-army officer.

I was astonished. Now I understood why he rode boldly even in the mud slippery road. I thought I would fall but he balanced the bike well despite high speed. I didn't fall and it was the most smooth ride I've ever witnessed amidst broken roads.

That explained everything. He wasn’t afraid of the road—he had seen worse. He’d trained for war. A bumpy road didn’t shake him because he had the mindset of a fighter.

That ride taught me something powerful:

The road wasn’t the real danger—my mindset was.

We often panic when facing rough patches in life. But instead of being driven by fear, be led by faith. You’ve already overcome battles—anxiety, doubt, uncertainty. Why fear the rest of 2025?

Just like the ex-army officer, you can say:

“I’ve survived much worse. This is just another road.”

This is the mindset of a fighter. This is the mindset of a victor.

You need this kind of mindset to fight the enemy that's in your mind. Dreaming isn't enough. In order to reach the goal, you need to have a mindset of a victor not a victim.

Don't panic looking at the slippery road. Recall the wars you have fought so far. You have defeated all those anxiety, fear of uncertainty, depression, etc. Recall, God made you cross the red sea. Therefore, this slippery road is a silly thing to cross. You'll not fall. You'll reach your destination safely.

If you fall, don't blame the road. Blame your mindset that was mediocre. As long as you have a winning mindset, a slippery road cannot make you fall.

God is with you. He calls you a winner. Leave the fear behind. Reach the destination. You'll be safe and when you reach there, you'll have a story to tell.

Remember:

God didn’t bring you this far to abandon you. He’s with you on this journey and will guide you safely to your purpose, so embrace life with grace and glitters in the heart, mind and soul.

Final Thoughts: You’ve Got It!

Whether you're reflecting on the past six months or worrying about the months ahead, don’t forget who you are.

●       You’ve made it this far for a reason.

●       You’ve survived storms.

●       You’ve gathered wisdom, strength, and courage.

Now, look at the next six months and say with faith:

“I've got the hope to move on, and I’ve got what it takes to finish 2025 strong.”

You’ve got the fruit. Forget the fright. 

You’ve got the mindset.

Forget the fear. 

And above all—you’ve got it.

God's grace will carry you.

Thank you
