Feelings .. nothing more than feelings

9 06 2003

“God’s not against feelings, not in the least. God wants you to feel loved, because you are loved! Yet, many good feelings aren’t really so good in the contexts they’re found in. Trusting in the emotions alone is like marrying someone just because you have the hots for that person: when the feelings fade, you realize what an awful mess you’ve gotten yourself into. Like any good love, your relationship with God is built on trust.” ~ From SpiritHome

Somehow, we can’t escape the need to deal with “Feelings” especially today and even more so if we want to be open to the Spirit’s work in our lives. So, accidently or providentially bumping into this paragraph was good for me today. Put “Feelings” into a healthy perspective, and uplifts “Trust” in its rightful place.
