This is what I learned from what Ive read today. And I just thought of sharing it with yall. ☺☺❤ If youre running on your feelings, then the Devil is going to do his best to get your feeling terrible most of the time. He knows if he can just get you feeling down, then he can actually get you down! Hell flood you with negative thoughts, trying to convince you that you are a failure, until hes got you totally defeated, discouraged, and despair. Then certainly hell say, you certainly arent close to Jesus! In fact, you must not even love Him, and He must not love you either, because look how terrible you feel! When youre relying on your feelings, the Devil can play with your emotions and make you feel very far from the Lord. When he sees that youre walking by sight, youre an easy target for his doubts. When besieged with such doubts, youve got to fight the good fight of faith and resist the Devil and his lies. Youre not always gonna be excited and feel inspired and be jumping up and down for joy. Sometimes youre hungry or tired. Sometimes youre sick. Sometimes its a struggle to keep your mind on the fact that Jesus loves and cares about you, and that if you hang on long enough, He will pull you through. Those who often feel close to Jesus arent necessarily any closer to Him or more spiritual than those who dont. Feelings are nice when they happen, but they arent the gauge of spirituality. What we want to do is to be close to Jesus! If you do happen to feel close to Him, be thankful. But if you dont happen to feel close to Him, dont be discouraged. And remember, you can know if youre close to Jesus if you love Him and are trying your best to please Him.
