Last Sunday I read the story of Thomas (John 20:19-30). The one who had to feel to believe, the doubter who wanted additional proof.
Most of us have some Thomas in us. Most of us want something additional. We want to feel to believe.
This wanting can lead to serious study of what it really means to be Christ-like. Or it can lead to "giving up." The choice is ours. We can struggle with our doubts, or we can let our doubts overcome us. We can let our doubts prevent the action, activity, and study it takes to discover Truth, the effort it takes truly find God.
Thomas saw and believed but "blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." We will never see what Thomas saw. But Lord, help us to do what it takes to "Stop doubting and believe" and to exclaim to You "My Lord and my God!"
