Our emotions often lie to us about who God is and about who we are in Christ, but instead of looking to the truth of scripture we just believe the lies. I mean aren’t we exhausted? Are we not drained from carrying the weight of lies? I’m an emotional person and at times it feels as if my emotions overwhelm me. It feels as though at times I can’t shut the lies out. It’s discouraging. Good News? There is another way to live. Want to know something the enemy doesn’t want you to know? You are not helpless against believing the lies. Through Jesus we have been freed up to choose to believe truth, to choose to live life abundantly. I can believe that God is good despite my circumstances because truth isn’t dependent upon how I feel. I can believe that God loves me and sees me as clean through His son because, despite what I feel, I know what truth (scripture) says. I don’t trust in my feelings, I trust in the truth of Christ. Yes, easier said than done, but that abundant life Christ calls us to? It’s not a fairytale, a lie, or something unattainable. Jesus has made it available to me & you, we’re just missing it.
