If only feelings can be controlled with the flick of a switch, wouldn't life be so much easier to handle??
But then again, if only all the 'if onlys' become reality, there wouldn't be any 'if onlys' left and life will be such a breeze...
Our feelings are a gift from God. That's the truth. But I've never bothered asking why. Over the weekend, the answer was revealed to me.
There are feelings that are on the good side. They make you simply feel good. When you are filled with joy, happiness or bliss, you know they are from God, because every good thing is from above.
Hey, but what about feelings that ain't that good? What if you are upset over something that had happened, which may lead to holding a grudge towards a friend or resulting in anger and or bitterness? What if you are fearful of the future, afraid of certain people or too petrified to face the consequences? What if you are facing disappointment? Can that really be a gift from God?? The answer simply is: Yes, why not?
Every negative feeling presents a chance to allow God to deal with the problems in our life. By allowing God to offend our minds to reveal our hearts, we are giving ourselves the opportunity to grow and mature in the spiritual, emotional and mental realm... So, yes! Every feeling is a gift from God!
I was led to allow God to deal with unsettled issues within me. I wanted to harden my heart and hide it from everyone including the Lord. But due to certain circumstances, I realise that it was either now or a long time later... There was no point in delaying as I have been struggling with it all this while.
The truth has set me free. Bitterness is a handle for the evil one to attack. It causes one to be vulnerable to his deceitful ways... Let go and allow God to work through the deepest chasms of your being, to renew your being and illuminate the paths that were once concealed by the darkness that was eating away on your insides.
