As we delve into “The Talk,” I want to spend today distinguishing between feelings and Truth. I hope you have noticed that our feelings are constantly changing. There is no stability or consistency, and not even any lasting satisfaction and fulfillment, if we live by these ever-altering emotions. We will always “feel like” something is missing in our lives if we try to live life dependent on our emotions.
Feelings never stay the same, and were definitely never meant to be a judge of the quality of our lives. That means, if we feel happy then life is good, but if we feel mad or sad, then life is not good??? That is certainly NOT God’s Hope for life, and absolutely not His Plan for the Abundant Life. We must live by a higher standard. That higher standard, of course, is God’s Truth. Like Him, God’s Truth never changes. You know where you stand when you live God’s Way because it is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Results are not dependent on changing situations, they are founded, and grounded, firmly on God. For instance, there is no guessing if things will work out for our good when we follow God’s design. We can be secure that it will because that is what God promises. We can stand on His Truth because it is as unshakeable as He is. And the Truth is God alone gets to define sex, as well as our sexuality.
