Reality:

     God's Word is more real than the way that you feel:

 

     You are a Soldier of The Cross.  What does that mean?    It means you have made the commitment to agree with God, no matter what that means.

 

     He has made Himself clear in His Word, and He asks that you walk by faith in what He has said, rather than depending on anything you see or hear or feel.

 

     This is a Place where few live.  It is a Place of obedience and is described as Sabbath Rest in  in Hebrews chapter 4.

 

     In my experience, when this is brought up, most believers immediately get defensive and start to make a case for the value of feelings.

 

     First, make a case for God's Word.  Get the verses and come before Him. State aloud that you will agree with Him, no matter what the cost.  No matter what the feeling.  No matter what others think.

 

     After that, I seriously doubt if you will tell him about the importance of your feelings.

 

     Soldier, you have one life to invest in eternity.   Will you spend  the time trying to put out the fires of your emotions, or will you trust Him and make choices that agree with Him?

 

     No one is saying it feels good all the time.  Nonetheless, there is a supernatural assurance available for the one who positions himself and throws himself at the feet of the One who gave Himself as a ransom for many.

 

     Tell Him today.  Aloud.
