Faith is what kept Mother Teresa ministering to the poor and dying not feelings.We all get sucker punched by our feelings but people like Mother Teresa who continue doing what God called them to do in spite of feelings are doing it on faith. The “feelings” of love isn’t what keeps a man or woman by the side of a spouse when they become sick physically or mentally,it’s the love itself that keeps them there !!!
I wouldn’t argue with you.
At the same time, we do place a lot of weight on our feelings. I’m not sure it’s conscious, though. We act on something, and we defend it by saying, “I thought x, y, or z, so I did ABC.”
We use the word “thought,” but what we really have done is allow emotions to push us to a conclusion. Sometimes our gut feel is just fine; other times, it’s really off base.
