Visit the Zoo Day
Fruitcake Day
Her friends give her what she thinks is a pat answer: “It’s not about feelings! Just believe and the feelings will come later.” She says, “Okay, but when is later?” She believes she’s “feelings-deficient.”
God created us in His image to have emotions, so the longing to feel loved is legitimate and good. One way that many of us sense we’re loved is when someone talks with us and listens to us.
God provides those needs in our relationship with Him too. He speaks through His Word to our heart (Heb. 4:12), and He wants us to pour out our heart to Him about everything (Ps. 62:8)—even our longing to feel His love. Besides a relationship with Him, He daily gives us our breath, clothing, food, and shelter. Like the psalmist, we can find Him to be our “rock” and “refuge” as we trust Him (vv.2,7).
God loves us. Now, we walk by faith. One day, when we’re in His very presence, we’ll never again be feelings-deficient.
I like fruitcake. This year, I enjoyed the Italian fruitcake, Panettone, more cake and less fruit, lol. Trader Joe’s is selling a yummy one.
Glad you’re feeling better, Amy. It is still freezing at night, but a little warmer during the day here.
Have fun doing laundry!!:)
