Feelings

"We all know what it is to feel hurt and angry, to feel that we are misunderstood and that no one loves us. At such times it may be we want to hurt ourselves so that in some mysterious way we may hurt those who do not love us. We long to die so that they may be sorry. But these feelings do not come often and they soon pass. We cry ourselves to sleep perhaps and wake up to find the evil thoughts are gone. We forget about them, or if we remember them we remember to smile at our own foolishness, for we know that after all we are understood, we are loved. And when we grow old enough to look back upon thse times, although we may remember the pain of them, we can see that sometimes they came from our own fault, it was not that we were misunderstood so much as that we were misunderstanding."

-H. E. Marshall

How strange we are. Our feelings are so subjective, it disgusts me. We are deceived into thinking that what we feel is right. Ugh! It makes me sick. That is something that bothers me so much about the world. They tell us to "follow you dreams", "do what your heart tells you" and "what feels right, is right". Oh, how misguided they are. I don't mean to say that feelings or desires are a bad thing, but if we are to be guided by them, they MUST line up with the truth, the Word of God.

Thanks for putting up with my ramblings.
