In Praise of Doubt

In praise of doubt:

here's a moment of praise for doubt, an important role at play, that finally, finally - there come a beginning point in which the ego's thoughts are questioned. I've written quite a bit this year on trust, how my focus this year was a conscious shift to living by faith more fully. And yet it was many years before this when that the seeds for trust were planted. 

first comes doubt.

trust is a gradual development that grows from the cracked foundation of the ego. My once mighty thought system that guided me so surely began to show it's true design. Why wasn't I happy? And really, why did happiness seem to elusive? The answers that came ti me were simply more of the same, only doubling down on all the things that obviously weren't working.

so doubt began to creep into my thoughts.

along with a single line that held such great meaning...

 there must be a better way. (ACIM, T-2.III.3:6) 

and there is.

it's clear to me now how everything serves the purpose of awakening. The Holy Spirit uses everything to its advantage. Even doubt. Maybe even especially doubt as it's here, one small crack in a once mighty foundation that the seeds of trust are planted...and later come to bloom.
