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.
