"To drive"
Several dictionaries explain this phrase as "to guide", "to control", to direct" or to run. It doesn't matter whether you are driving a car, driving a nail, or controlling a character in a video game, at that moment, you are controlling it.
Just as things are driven, our lives too are driven by something. You can be driven by revenge, fear, or doubt. The book states five common ones;
- Guilt: Many people run away from past regrets and bury themselves in shame. They constantly punish themselves, causing themselves to be disconnected from GOD. But, the Bible gives us many instances where GOD still used people even with their bad history: take Moses for example; he killed someone, but did GOD say that because you murdered so there is no way I'm using you? NO! GOD still used Moses because Moses didn't allow his past to rule over his life. So can you, you are a product of your past but not a prisoner
Thank you.
