Everyone needs a safe way to express doubts and questions.

Everyone needs a safe way to express doubts and questions.
I think pretty much all of us find ourselves dealing with a “That’s Not Fair!” attitude from time to time.
I envied the proud! Ever been there, friends?!
Asaph was experiencing a crisis of faith!
In that moment, faith rose in my heart and replaced doubt and uncertainty.
There is much that I cannot control in my circumstances and in the actions of others toward me.
Self-life says, “We’re rivals – Compare and compete.” Spirit-life says, “We’re on the same team – Cooperate and complete.”
We allow the Spirit of Jesus to change our hearts so that we think, say, and do the right things because our hearts are becoming like Jesus’ heart.
When we submit ourselves to Jesus, he will model gentleness of heart for us, he will be gentle with us, and our souls will flourish in his care.
The fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is…faith that prevails.
