-Now Thomas (also known as Didymust),
one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other
disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my
finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not
believe.” A week later his disciples were in
the house again and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus
came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then
he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your
hand and put it into my side. Stop
doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My
Lord and my God!â€� Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have
believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”- John
20:24-29
I doubt. Does that lead to unbelief
in Christ? Because I do not see, does this mean that I do not believe? Am I
just ‘playing’ God? Am I really loved and forgiven by Christ? Can my sins ever
truly be wiped clean by the blood that was shed at the cross?
As
the band Gwen Stacy states it: Don’t let them make you think your doubt is disbelief. It’s time you finally listen to the things I have to say. I’ve
been talking with no response. It’s time for your attention.
Are you ready to listen? Now listen for what you’ve missed every time before….
‘Attention!’ ‘Listen!’ ‘Ashley!’
India is where God is getting my
attention.
India is where God is telling me
that I need to STOP DOUBTING! I have been forgiven! I am loved!
As Colossians 1:16 says:
-For in him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers
or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for
him.-
I am created by Him and for Him!
India is where God is revealing to me
that the more I find out who He really is then the more I’ll find out who I
really am! My identity is in God.
