The destructive power of self doubt

 I don't know about you, but my life has been one giant fight with self doubt.

Most of us lose the fight.  Most of us shrink back from our potential because we are afraid.  But there have been those times in my life, and I am sure in yours as well, when you stepped up to the plate, fought through your fears and got the bat on the ball.

Fears will come.  They bring choices to us.  Will we shrink back or will we step into the gap?  The side of the road is littered with people that gave up.  But then there are those who refuse to let their self doubt get the best of them.  These are those who stoop to help the broken.  These are those who hug those who are sad.  These are those who sit with the grieving.  

And this is you.  You are doing that.  You can be doing that.  Never let your worries get in the way of doing good in the name of the Lord.  Never let your self doubt stop you from fulfilling your potential.  There are tons of people out there waiting to be loved.  They need you.  And they need me.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
