Doubt helps us identify what is true and false. But as important as doubt is, it is not enough to build a life upon. The real power in our living comes from what we believe, what we really believe, what we believe in. What we believe, really believe, matters. What we believe sets the direction we go in life and influences what we say and do along the way.
Wrong beliefs lead to wrong living, sometimes living that is so wrong it is evil.
Right belief empowers us to live as God intends us to live. God, shape our beliefs so that we are empowered to live as you intend us to live. For all those women and men who have provided the mothering nurture needed to bring out the best in us, we give you thanks. We are also aware that for some, this day is not only a day celebrating their mothers, but also a day of grief because of their inability to give birth to children. Free them from bondage to regret, comfort them, and enable them to discover ways to express their abilities to nurture children.
