Our Father whispers into our ear and says, do this for me. Doubt steps in and says, don't.
Without doubt our faith in God has no possible future. Whereas with doubt we can see the stars flickering just beyond our reach. Doubt is the very foundation of our faith enabling each of us to ask questions, then to test the answers that flood our mind with an understanding that He provides us, with all the enlightenment we will ever need to enable us to take another leap into the unknown reaches of our journey into tomorrow.
Doubt is not the opposite of faith; it is one element of faith ~ Paul Tillich
A word to the doubter transforms their perceptions when doubt begins to dissolve into an awareness that trust is the antidote. That Word is life affirming for it engages us in a relationship born through our free choice to dive into the flow of life's passage.
There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson
The further we journey in faith, the more we can handle our doubts, for they inspire us to never stop questioning the decisions we make, driven by our faith that we are choosing wisely.
"You can only apprehend the Infinite by a faculty that is superior to reason." - Plotinus
