Jude

Jude v20-23
"But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most.... even the garment defiled by the flesh."
These verses spoke to me as a reminder to my spiritual life with God. Telling me to build on my faith(bible, sermon etc) and praying in the Holy Spirit (tongues, and as mentioned in my previous post, praying in tongue can help to build up faith and trust in God as well).

Recently I've read an article regarding Mother Theresa's unbelief in God. As a servant of God and highly respected by others for her faith in God, Mother Theresa faced trials and tough time in her spiritual walk too. Her unbelief came about when she doubted God's presences. Some may be taken aback by her unbelief but despite her doubts on God's presence, she never stop working for God. Reflecting on this article, I realized people react differently when they face faith crisis. Some may choose to give in to the situation and walk away from God, some may choose to conquer this faith crisis. I do not know how Mother Theresa conquer her doubts about God's presence, but one thing I know for sure, she did not choose to walk away from the faith crisis. She persevered, struggling through her faith crisis until the day she was called to join God in heaven. I'm inspired by her decision, not wanting to be defeated by the faith crisis and walk away from God, but facing it with perseverance and determination to do good for others due to love.
