Welcome to Truth Be Told!

It's been a huge blessing to have so many people read these blog entries. With a passion for writing, I felt it laid on my heart to use my life, with all of it's ups and downs, to relate to others and help them with whatever they may be going through. My prayer is that God will speak to you through my writing, just like he has spoken to me. Although many of my blogs contain personal information and opinions (my life is an open book), I seek to only write what I know to be true - revelations that have been made to me from God through his word and Spirit :) As I have stated in many of my blog entries before, I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be "holier than thou" or "have it all together". Anyone that knows me would tell you that I am far from that. I'll be the first to tell you that I am a horrible, messed up human being who would be nothing without the grace of God. So all the thanks to him, for using my life to help others and further his kingdom :) I am just a messenger, my friends! Enjoy these entries, be challenged by them, and use them to grow closer to God.
Love,
Lottie

Doubt vs. Belief

This is going to be a short one today. Just wanted to share a revelation I have made! (I'm sure I've realized this before, but it's just now sinking in!)

Recently I've been stuck in this rut of doubt. Wondering who God really is, how much he loves me, and why I, myself, follow him/love him. I find myself asking a ton of why questions. After all, if I'm going to claim myself as christian and if I'm going to put my life in his hands/follow him blindly, then I need to know more and truly be in love with Him. I refuse to have a religion but no relationship.

Today at church a thought popped into my head.. just because I don't always feel like he's there, it doesn't mean he's not. Just because I don't see him, doesn't mean he's not real. My doubt in his power doesn't make him any less powerful. Just because I don't always believe it, doesn't make it any less true. Even though I may doubt what the Bible says and become very skeptical, doesn't mean it's not still the holy, inspired word of God.

Truth is, it doesn't matter what I think. It's still true! It always has been and always will be. I may not feel like it's true and it may not have sunk into my heart as true yet.

But just because my human mind can't concieve it and my heart can't believe it...it doesn't make it any less true!

So there. That's my thought for the day :)

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, "You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." - John 8:31-32
