Hi everyone, this is a blog post that has to do with fears of being a bad person. I think I will just keep it simple at this time and revisit the topic more in the future. The idea I want to share is that God likes for us to have faith in him, in his son who died for us, and surprisingly, in ourselves as his lovable creatures. It is okay and good to expect that when life exposes our true intents and all the ways of our hearts, plenty of things will turn out very positive and happy for us and for other people. It is not a sin to have some faith in yourself and in humanity. I am not talking about trusting people instead of God for salvation. But I am saying that when it comes to being scared that you will be found out as a racist, or selfish to the core, or a predator or deviant of some kind, it is much more likely that your whole life will mostly reflect God’s goodness if you put your faith and hope in him. Depression can fog that up, too, but I just wanted to tell everyone the good news that life doesn’t have to be just a perpetual trap that demonstrates your inferiority and failure. Even when it seems that is the case, our grief over loss will turn out to be the greater beauty. So believe what God says and know that it is for you too. God loves you and Jesus did not die for no reason, bad or good or hard to understand.
