“It is a mark of true faith to continue to choose to follow the commandments of Christ even when your soul feels dry.”
Agreed. God gave you emotions though. Use them all to the Glory of God. Did not David celebrate BEFORE THE LORD with wild nude dancing at the bringing of the Ark into Jerusalem?
Don’t think that the grand blessings of the Lord shouldn’t be greeted with an emotional AND intellectual praise. God gave you both...use both for His Glory.
My point is that you should’t try to force the emotions, and that you shouldn’t use them as a reliable indicator in determining the state of your soul.
