The Illusion of Eyes

Why fear of being watched paralyzes progress—and how Jesus Christ frees you to move

Fear is a trickster. It whispers that everyone is staring, judging, waiting for you to trip.

They’re all paying attention.

No, they’re not.

Most people are too consumed with their own lives to track yours. And even if one or two are watching—so what?

I remember asking a friend, a successful entrepreneur, how she handled naysayers. Her answer startled me: “I was so engrossed in building, I didn’t even notice.” That’s the difference between moving and being paralyzed.

Fear convinces us that opinions matter more than obedience. But when God made you, He didn’t make a mistake. He planted ideas, callings, and dreams unique to your design. No copycat can do what you were made to do.

Confidence doesn’t show up first—it comes in motion. As you take steps, Jesus Christ reveals provision, courage, and the grace to keep going. The journey, not the outline, is where your faith grows.

So the real question isn’t “Who’s watching?” The real question is: will you trust Him enough to start?

If this opened your eyes, share it with someone who’s still stuck under fear’s illusion.
