Tweets - August 6th - Doubt

My own feelings. I have been very encouraged by this. It reminds me of the cloud-wing over the Sahara all those years ago - that encouraged me too. It's not that these things founded my faith, but they are a complement and addition to what I've been made to understand.

I've surely been down that rabbit hole of feelings of doubt - questioning whether God left me all alone, but the beauty that God has given me is always present. So I haven't had any of those of those feelings lately. Even if I did, I don't expect God to treat me any differently.

The mercy of God is not founded or dependent on my trust, my trust is founded and dependent on God's mercy. As such, I have never been treated differently by God because of my questionings. I think Paul may have been correct in that the calling of God is irrevocable.

The establishing of my faith did not require much. God only needed to show me kindness, and the counsel of angels only helped. So there is no threat of me going off in a thousand different directions from the path God set me on. But I don't think this is enough for the world.

As far as I'm aware, a person's faith must be established on the kindness of God. But this view may change in the days ahead as God has been doing new things (from my perspective).

For some, it may be possible for their faith to be founded on what they see God doing, in others, wrath will first be required (the Earth will need to undergo wrath so that people will NEVER EVER EVER again plant the seeds they have planted).

Thinking more about these things, I suppose if trusting God becomes a serious problem for someone called, then God would get involved and do what needed to be done (whatever that is); especially if this lack of trust begins to affect their behavior.

While in distress, I was given advice from above several years ago, and I was told that I never needed to fear God leaving me alone and I never needed to be hopeful that God would do good. I trust this advice (I do now anyway).
