my feelings are not God

"My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God's word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes, many times, my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth."

- John Piper

thanks kar for sharing! (:

Lord, help us walk in Your Ways everyday, such that every feeling that stirs in our hearts does not turn us away from You, but be in sync with the Truth we had learnt from the beginning.
