God made us in His image. And God is emotional – just look at the life of Jesus, who is God, and you see the perfect Man, with emotions!
So emotions and feelings, clearly, are how Go made us to be! But how much credence should we give to our feelings and emotions?
Ever walked out your front door feeling on top of the world, to find you have a flat tyre? Your mood changes, and you’re suddenly nothing but darkness and gloom ahead.
Ever finished a large meal, felt stuffed, spotted the cake trolley and thought you were hungry again? Those are your feelings changing.
Which is why we can’t trust to our feelings, although we should always see them as a useful temperature gauge.
But just like sensors and gauges in cars, or even the directions of your recently updated SatNav – we have to learn to interpret what we’re seeing and hearing, through the lens of someone we trust.
That’ll be a mechanic for your car, and God for everything else!
But, if God made us with feelings, so how do we break the cycles of habitually doing stuff we don’t want to do, and feel the wonderful, beautiful, glorious peace of God flowing through us?
