ALWAYS KEEP JESUS IN MIND
If you struggle against doubts in attempting to grow a strong faith, great help will come if you keep Jesus always in mind.
He understands you. He is aware that in all men good and evil are always at war. He knows that even in wanting the good, we are still attracted to the bad.
He is perfectly aware of the struggle incessantly taking place in that unseen battlefield, the human mind.
The great first thing to keep saying to yourself is, “Jesus loves me.” Remember that old hymn of childhood, “Jesus loves me, this I know. For the Bible tells me so.” That old song tells the truth.
When doubts and indecisions pile up, and you think you cannot ever become the kind of person you want to be, with the kind of faith you want to have, remember that Jesus will see you through, for He loves you.
Many years ago, a great Christian scholar by the name of Henry Drummond suggested that if you think of Jesus even for two minutes every day, the whole day will be different. So sit down, close your eyes and for two minutes think of nothing else, only Jesus.
The poet William Wordsworth used the method of repeating a passage from the words of Jesus. Then he would reflectively ask himself, “I wonder what was the tone of voice when He said that? What was the look on His face when He uttered those words?” This practice made Jesus very real to him.
Therefore, do not keep your mind on your weaknesses and doubts, but keep Jesus in mind. Try to hear His voice spiritually and touch His hand. Keep following after Him and unshakable faith will come.
