We have two choices concerning out thought closet content: Act according to truth or react to our emotions. Our thought closets have room for both. Feelings are valid, but they must concur with truth to be worthy of our life's wardrobe! We need to understand the basic nature of our feelings so we can give emotions their proper placement.
According to the following Scripture verse, can our hearts (feelings) be fully trusted?
Jeremiah 17:9 (New International Version, ©2010)
9 The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
No, it can NOT be trusted because this verse says there is no cure for the deceitfulness of our hearts. Our hearts will lie to us. I like what Joyce Meyer says...."Feelings are fickle!"
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely cannot be trusted! THe NLT says that "The human heart is most deceitful and depserately wicked..."
