Certainty | Uncertainty
Recently, certainty and uncertainty have come up frequently for some reason. It seems like God might be encouraging me to think about it.
“I have a lot of faith. But I am also afraid a lot, and have no real certainty about anything.” ~Anne Lamott
A few words on the words of a hero of faith.
“God did not say, ‘You shall not be tormented, you shall not be troubled, you shall not be grieved’, but God said, ‘You shall not be overcome.'”
A lesser-known quote by Julian of Norwich.
God loves you. He's on your side. He's coming after you. He's relentless. —Eugene Peterson
According to his son, Eugene Peterson said this to him every night.
What does repent mean?
What does repent mean? To weep that you have done something wrong? No; that is all very well, but that is not repentance…
God's got this.
Bring all of it to God. Sometimes we think before we spend time with God we need to get a plan together, find the right spot, the right time, be in the right mood. Don’t wait for all of that.
