"Don’t dig up in doubt what you planted in faith." - Elizabeth Elliott

It would be easy to trust if doubt never came to visit us, but it does, so we must learn to deal with it. It is easy to wish for no opposition in anything, but it isn’t realistic. Expect it and be ready to deal with it swiftly and accurately when it does. We get to make that choice!

When doubt comes, we can choose not to let it affect us. We can learn to doubt our doubts. The temptation of doubt will come, but you have a choice about whether to receive it. It doesn’t mean you won’t feel doubt, but you can tune it out. Doubt is the tool that keeps us from doing what we’re called to move toward. Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Don’t let doubt derail your faith. Instead, recognize what it is and move past it with positivity and confident expectation. Let your aspirations be rooted in hope and fueled by faith. You were born to be exceptional. Move toward that image consistently!

Every moment is a fresh new beginning. – T.S. Eliot

Intentionally Own It Reflection: What do you see when you think of your life with no limits? What motivates you to live in that image consistently? Who are you becoming when you do?
