Quotes about Feelings

Old patterns of thought must be torn out, and a new way of looking at the core of who I am using God's truth has to be put into place. My identity must be anchored to the truth of who God is and who He is to me. Only then can I find a stability beyond what my feelings will ever allow. The closer I align my truth with His truth, the more closely I identify with God—and the more my identity really is in Him.

To wrestle well means acknowledging my feelings but moving forward, letting my faith lead the way.

O for a life of Sensations rather than of Thoughts!
