Doubt vs faith

We do not have to be perfect to do His work! We can have doubt and faith at the same time when doing His work! 


"When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted." Matthew 28:17

In ministry field, this passage really gave me a very big impact and vision! Yes, we can serve with doubt and faith! Having doubt is not a big deal, as long as we hang on to our faith, He will guide us in doing His work! 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In unbeliever context, we always have doubt and faith in doing our daily chores too, especially in friendship/relationship. Even though we have doubt, we should not back ourselves out from the issue we are facing, no matter its relationship, friendship, family, uni issue etc etc... We should hang on to our faith and in the same time know more about our doubt! If we think that we should deal with our problem 1st before doing things, the question we should ask is, when will we finished dealing with it? If we are not doing anything because we have doubt, what will we achieve? 

Sometimes, we should try to do something without being perfect as failing will teach us much more than achieving. "Wait till I manage my emotion 1st then I will deal with the issue", "I want to wait till I am more sociable 1st before I start making with new friends"... All these thinking will actually hold us back and make us lose a lot of precious time. 

No doubt, sometimes we really should settle some issue before doing another, but often, when we look back, we deal with a certain issue even with doubt, or think that we are imperfect, but in the end the result is actually better than what we really expected! 

In conclusion, we shouldn't worry too much and do nothing. A lot of decision needs courage, unless we are willingly to make the 1st step to receive courage, we will never have it. Things will fall into place if we do our best of what we can do!
