Doubt


Hey hey, beautiful girl,

I miss you. It has been almost four weeks since I have gotten to see you, and that is too long. I look forward to Christmas and getting to come see you. Seeing you makes everything better.

Remind me later on in life to talk to you about doubt. Doubt means you aren't completely certain or sure, that you have questions for which you don't have all the answers.

And life can be full of doubt at times, and this includes a life that is following and believing in Jesus. All that I will say at this point about doubt and Jesus is this: don't be afraid of doubt, and don't be afraid to explore your doubts. I guarantee you that Jesus is who he claimed to be, that he is not intimidated by your doubts, and that he welcomes your doubts and will use them as a means show you himself in fresh and new ways.

I'll save the rest of the conversation about doubt for a time when we can sit face to face and talk about specific questions and doubts. That will be more fun than reading about it.
