So much of my uncertainty was because I didn’t understand God’s character. Instead of thinking of Him as a kind Creator who wanted me to obey Him for my own good and His glory, I primarily thought of God as stern and harsh. I had this idea that He would be disappointed, even angry, if I didn’t do exactly what He wanted me to do. Even if I didn’t know what He wanted from me in a situation, I thought I could get in trouble for making the wrong choice.
