Torn By My Feelings and The Truth
Scripture: John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
I am torn by my feelings and The Truth
Each provides an answer on how and what to do
I am guilty of being more intrigued by my five senses
The results are quicker with pleasing and selfish incentives
Rather than pray and discern to reach a divine consensus
I’ve chosen the temporary pleasure with eventual consequences
My feelings are more relatable and comfortable
They appear more rewarding, reachable, and suitable
So, in consideration of life choices, dilemmas, and relationships
I’m torn by my feelings and The Truth for my best interest
My feelings echo and respond based on what my mind perceives
Often, out of sync with The Truth, causing myself to be deceived
My truth, others truth, and worldly truth, doesn’t equate to The Truth
The differences are rectified and justified through biblical proof
God is God, and He is our standard and model
Feelings are meant to be felt, not always followed
After all, feelings change, and they are imperfect
They arise all day, but shouldn’t be the final verdict
The Truth is truer than anything I feel
The Truth is truer than any diagnosis revealed
The Truth is truer than any challenge I face
The Truth is truer than any experiences taken place
The Truth redirects and looks beyond physical attractions
The Truth tests the spirit of others to reveal possible distractions
The Truth exposes evildoers
The Truth will dismiss attacks of slander, backbiters, and rumors
The Truth is unusual and unnatural, while making little sense
The Truth requires prayer, faith, dependency, and patience
Therefore, no longer am I torn by my feelings and The Truth
I am choosing Jesus, and what He says in John 14:6 is the proof
Prayer: I can’t afford to let down my guard. More importantly, I can’t afford to let down my GOD. Lord, give me discernment to manage my ways. My feelings always rise to the surface to distract me. Even when the Bible is in front of me. Even in my closet prayers. Even when I am in church. My feelings attempt to take precedent of my mind and heart. Redirect me from what’s harmful and consume me with Your Truth. Lord, I have done it my way on countless occasions. Surely, during those moments my feelings got me. But God! You always provide a way out. In fact, seeking You first will preserve my ways. Give me the strength Father to turn away and rely on The Truth. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen!
