Your feelings matter

48 05 22a image
If your feelings could talk, what would they say?

Do you know that God cares about how you feel? I’m glad that joy and peace are fruit of the Spirit because it’s hard to fake joy, and it’s hard to fake peace. They are not an act that we can put on; they are not the result of behavior modification. Instead, they are the product of inner transformation.

Jesus was at peace as He slept in the bottom of the boat during the raging storm. And what enabled Jesus to endure the cross? Joy.

We feel what we genuinely believe, whether our beliefs are accurate or not. The fruit of the Spirit is tied to the life-changing truth that God’s victory is our victory, and God’s love is ours forever.

From the Bible:
How do you know if you’re making room for God’s Spirit? If you are, here’s what grows in your life: love, joy, peace …Galatians 5:22a The Easy Bible

 

Remember, you are designed to make a difference!
