Observation about FEELINGS

Observation: too many people are ruled by their feelings. I feel this way or that makes me feel sad or I don’t feel that’s right. Hear it often! Feelings are good because God gave them to us, but anything can be used against you, including your feelings. Being ruled by your feelings can cause great distress, sadness, bitterness, and anger. I haven’t mastered my feelings by any stretch of my imagination, but I have learned that living in fear, bitterness, sadness, and anger is a self-induced life-dominating hell we put ourselves in. The bible says, “fear not” and “be not afraid” so many times because God knows we are fearful people dominated by our feelings.
