Should You Do What Feels Right?

Should You Do What Feels Right?
This truth will change your life: should you do what you feel is right?
God didn’t give you feelings so you would follow them. My feelings could care less what is right.
What is right to me is how you make me feel right now. You hurt me then I hurt you worse. You love me and I love you more until you hurt me.
So. I’m letting you and my feelings control my life. All that leads me to fight for lies that destroy me; and leads me to encourage others to destroy their lives.
Please don’t blindly follow your feelings.
Living a loving life requires that we seek truth at all cost, regardless of how we feel.
If I had influence in your life and I wanted to destroy your life, but I couldn’t touch you, then what I would do is teach you and encourage you to do what you feel is right. Because if you just do what you feel is right, you will wreck your life.
God doesn't want us to do what we feel is right. He wants us to do what is right. This is why love is patient because love seeks the truth at all costs; and love follows the truth wherever the truth takes it.
If I did everything that I feel is right, I would have destroyed every relationship I ever had. I would hurt the people I love the most because my feelings are out of control so often, and they mislead me.
This is worth repeating: don’t do what you feel is right.
Do what is right.
Fight to live a loving life.
If you don’t know what is right, go to God’s Word.
He will teach you what is right.
Trust God no matter what and keep your eyes on the horizon.
John 8:32
Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Laus Deo,
