Feelings

How often so you test your feelings to see if they are true? We must use our thoughts at times to be clear about what we are feeling and why we may be feeling this way. What we think about will be what we become. What do we need to become? We need to become a life filled with love.

So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 1:9

Living appropriately means using our head, our thoughts, to test how we are viewing the world around us. This is the way that we live a life, have the mind of Jesus. Test your thoughts. Do you hear yourself saying things like "always, never, all the time, everytime, etc?" To avoid the extremes is to live a life that is sincere and intelligent. So try that today. Notice your feelings and test them by thinking, "If this is how I am feeling what was I thinking just before this?" I bet that you will find some extreme kind of thought leading to the feelings of anger or anxiety.
