“ Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” – John 20:24-31
Doubts are a common problem that we all struggle with. But Jesus knew that we would, and He understood. And more importantly, He loves us anyway.
Because we struggle with doubts does not make us less Christian. Faith is not about how we Feel on any given day, it’s about who we choose to Follow every single day!
So do not “feel” badly if there are times that you doubt. Instead, just give your doubts to Jesus. Just tell Him plainly that you want to believe, that you are following Him and need help.
If we want a stronger faith; we just need to ask Jesus to give us one. Faith is a gift, especially the kind that truly sets our heart on fire for the Lord. And sometimes it takes a while to receive it, so keep praying and don’t ever give up 🙂
Follow Jesus & Keep Praying; Prayer Changes Things!
