As young woman we are at times overcome by feelings. Sometimes we let our feelings rule how we act and respond to situations that arise. Our feelings are a part of the person that we are. Feelings like everything can be good thing and they can be wrongly used…
I was reading in one of my favorite books “You Are My Hiding Place” devotional readings by Amy Carmichael.
As I was reading Amy Carmichael explained of one evening while she was very, very sick she was looking out over the stars and mountain peaks. As the stars twinkled in the sky the clouds moved slowly in, the clouds hung low and covered the stars that shown and the beauty of the mountain was all hidden from her view.
She pointed out that though the beauty was hidden for a time the fact was the mountain and stars where still there. The mountain never moved. The stars never left. Just because she could not see the beauty because of present circumstances God’s creation never left.
Young ladies remember that just like those mountains, the God who created you has not left you here on earth to face it alone without Him. The God you hung the stars in the sky with his hand still holds you with that same all-powerful hand. The God you made you with a specific purpose in mind has not forgotten why He made you (Jer. 29:11). The God who loved you before time began will love you after all time stops. No matter how you feel today or tomorrow these are facts that will always remain, always.
“Our feelings do not affect God’s facts”
Surround yourself with God’s truth, His facts.
The facts are:
God loves you.
It doesn’t matter how we feel about that it’s a fact. God’s love never fails.
You can trust God with your future.
It does not matter how insecure you feel, He holds your future that’s a fact.
God knows what is best for us.
It does not matter how we feel about His leading.
His facts are what we have to live by.
“Feelings go and come but the “mountains” and “stars” abide”. Though the clouds hide the sun the fact is the sun is still shining.
