NOT “HOLY” ENOUGH?



Our doubts about God may take several forms. Firstly we may feel unsure about our relationship with him. We feel unworthy to be called his own, we feel our sins are too much, that although we have asked to be his own he has refused to accept us fully, that our Christianity is just a show off or a rebound after a bad event, and that we are not “holy” enough.
Do you feel like that? If you have suffered some sadness, it is quite possible that you may experience a sense of abandonment, a feeling that he is too far away. Although this may be a rational thought or feeling, you should know today that it is not true.
Secondly we may also doubt that what we believe is true. Suddenly we start to try to logically rationalize our belief in God, doubting the validity of the gospel and its relevance in our world. These thoughts and feelings often clash with long standing belief and understanding about God, his goodness and promises.
We bravely try to keep up our devotional habits as Christians but the secrete doubts and hurts eats us away. These things can happen to any Christian, I know it has happened to me before and here is my recommendation ; first, treat your foundation, clear all religious routines and replace with spiritual devotions and worship that come from your heart, in essence what I mean is, get a personal relationship with God. And finally get enough dose of his word cos that is the bedrock of our faith. Talking about the word of God, here’s one that pulled me out of a bad place once. “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the past nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our lord.” Romans 8:38-39
Happy Sunday y’all.
