Feelings.Emotions. Reactions. Pain. Feelings. That is a word that carries so many meanings. Doesn't it? I mean I can spend the whole writing jotting down different types of feelings. However, I wont do that. No. I'll share some of my deep thoughts regarding feelings.

Here we go. Okay, What are Samantha's Deep Thoughts on feelings? Feelings can sometimes no, more than most times get in the way of doing what is right and being obedient to what God wants us to do. For example let's use the feeling of love. Let's say you have a significant other you've been with for years. He or she really hurt you and fell astray into someone else's arms. That is all I will say about that. You guys can use your imagination and figure out what happened next.

Something like that happening with you guys right now? What are your feelings? Of course they're hurt probably. Anger possibly disgusted. I don't know you guys fill in the blank. What are you guys going to do about your girlfriend or boyfriend that went astray? My guess is forgiveness will not be in the picture. Right? Of course I am right. Because the feelings are in the way and they are dominating what you are supposed to be doing which is forgiving the person. Am I right? I think I'm right.

To reiterate, feelings get in the way of being obedient to the word of God. We must be careful because our feelings can be cause of disobedience. What are your guys feelings about my deep thoughts?

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 

Proverbs 28:26

Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. 

1 John 3:20 

For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
