Feelings vs. Truth

Today has been an “ugh” kind of a day.

My family life is good.  My marriage is GREAT.  My friends are checking in… however…

I FEEL:

  • forgotten
  • unworthy
  • attacked
  • unwanted
  • abandoned

However… no matter how I feel… I STILL know the TRUTH.

I AM:

  • CHOSEN
  • WORTHY
  • FORGIVEN
  • LOVED
  • RESTORED

I guess it doesn’t matter how I feel… because the TRUTH card trumps the FEELINGS card, huh?

What are YOU feeling today?
AND what is the TRUTH about you today?

    Feelings, much as I love them, are still vulnerable to attack.

    I will never get Joyce Meyer’s voice out of my head, reminding me that “feelings lie”.

    So yes, truth trumps feelings, and choosing truth over feelings is always the best option.

    It can just be really painful. Especially for satan when you give him some ninja action to the face with the truth that he wasn’t expecting ;)

    I should answer the question too huh.

    I’m feeling a little annoyed at lots of things – little niggly things – about work, church, “the future”

    The truth is all of those things are at the foot of the Cross – where I put them, so I should stop trying to take them back, cos Jesus has surely got my back.

    i hear ya, alece… it’s easier to hear it and know truth in our heads than it is to actually KNOW it in our hearts.

    praying with you, sister.

    You speak my language, and more importantly, God’s language. SO precious :-)
