Truth Versus Feelings

“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”

Mark 13:31

Your heart may insist that God created you and loves you, but that doesn’t stop your mind from punching away with thoughts like, What’s wrong with me? I never seem to do anything right!

It’s an age-old war—of truth versus feelings—but there can be peace!

When there is a fight between your heart and your head, the best thing to do is read God’s Word and remind yourself of who God says you are. Soaking in the promises of His love, acceptance, and delight in you will slowly quiet those condemning voices—and renew your mind. Those negative blows can give you an overwhelming sense of worthlessness and rejection, because that is what the lies of the Enemy do to us. They beat us down and try to knock us out.

It’s God who will always lift us up. It’s always God who will help you get it all right!

I am God’s child (1 Peter 1:23).

I am God’s workmanship (Ephesians 2:10).

I am the light of the world (Matthew 5:14).

I am a doer of the Word and blessed in my actions (James 1:22, 25).

I am firmly rooted, built up, established in my faith, and overflowing with gratitude (Colossians 2:7).

Jesus, when my feelings assail me, please draw me back into Your love. Imprint Your Word on my heart, and keep me coming back to it again and again.
