Doubting Rhonda.
Tuesday, December 20, 2005
Alas, I do have my doubts in life. I do doubt myself, my beliefs, my thoughts, especially when I'm being challenged or disagreed with.
I doubt myself so much sometimes that I need to start over at the core of things, the foundations, and build up from there. I spent a bit of time doing that yesterday.
And I'm okay. I'm alright. Every thing I am or am not, every doubt I do have, every belief I do hold, is known by God. There's nothing hidden about me within my relationship to God, Jesus or the Spirit and that's what's important to me. If I know that God can accept me where I am and still love me unconditionally, then I can deal with whatever struggles come up, I can work through whatever consequences arise from the poor decisions I have made in life.
To me, that's hope, forgiveness, second chances and redemption all rolled into one. To me, that is faith in the salvation I've been offered through Jesus Christ.
