“Of course, feelings in and of themselves are not evil. God created us with the ability to feel pain and joy; Jesus Himself is ‘touched with the feeling of our infirmities’ (Hebrews 4:15 KJV). To stoically ignore our feelings or reject them out of hand is to invite callousness and indifference. Paul condemned the wicked who were no longer capable of compassion, who were past feeling (Ephesians 4:19). But our feelings are not a fully reliable guide for behavior. Many feelings must be restrained, both for our good and the good of others.” (source)
“If we think we can’t obey God until we feel like it, we will never get off the ground in our spiritual lives.” (source)
