Doubting Reality

With transparency and trust, a friend shared their heart to us. From this confession my mind was stirred, like always. And here is the fruit of it.
There are days when we step back and think about the reality of life, God, heaven, spirit, Bible, and wonder is it all too good to be true? Are we grasping at something to get us through life on Earth? But, wait. There is so much "coincidence" in just my life alone, that it has to be all real and all true. Wait again! Is not coincidence a man made word, in a world that does not believe in the reality of God? Believing in coincidence would mean I do not see and choose to ignore the perfection of God, his hand, plan and processes. So, there is nothing left but God, heaven, spirit, and Bible (the word of God).
Doubt is something we attained when we ate from the tree of knowledge in the beginning of man's time (Genesis 3:1-7). Doubt gives us the time and ability to weigh between good and evil. Doubt is part of our being, and God knows this. But, because we are not perfect and we are all able to fall into evil, we must keep in check all abilities and knowledge. Without keeping them in check with the Holy Spirit, they can lead us to sin and away from our loving Father. The knowledge we wanted can ultimately lead to our destruction. Thank you Jesus for tearing the veil in your last breath (Matthew 27:50-51), and allowing us to be united with our Creator and attain your helper, the Holy Spirit.
