Feelings

Feelings are something that everyone has, and each person uses their emotions to a different extent. Some people express themselves one way, such as being loud and letting everyone know what they think on a subject, while other people like to keep their emotions to themselves or close their emotions from everyone. Yet, even though most of the time we don't know, are emotions actually radiate out of us and affect others around, not just yourself.

For example, if you have high energy all the time while you are with a group of people, slowly the others in the group will start to chime in with the high energy. Then everyone is cracking jokes and having a good time with one another. On the polar opposite side of the spectrum, if you are really quiet, or have low energy then the others around you will start to chime in with your quietness or lack of energy. Then everyone will not talk to each other and keep to themselves or every comment becomes serious and not jokes can be made.

The true challenge with these feeling is discerning which feels are acceptable to keep feeling for long periods of time and which are not. But, in discerning lies another issue, our emotions. Our emotions can get in the way, sometimes, with what the actual outcome that God give us. For example, you caused a car accident two years ago and you still feel utter regret. You might discern that it is OK to feel that way because it will make you be a safer driver and pay more attention while on the road. Truthfully, God is actually telling you that you need to give that to him because you shouldn't be holding on to something such as that. The true test is to push through the emotions, and get to the actual answer God wants you to hear.

Just take some time today. Talk to God, and put all your emotions on the side. Ask God when you misheard Him, and then ask for forgiveness. We all have misheard God in our lifetime, but that doesn't mean we should never acknowledge it. The first half or forgiveness is acknowledging that you did something wrong and really feeling bad about it. Then, you ask God to forgive you for what you have done. After you have had that talk with God, then ask Him to help you hear his voice clearer than you hear it now. And that if you discern incorrectly to let you know. Lastly, ask God to do the same to everyone that you come in contact with. Let those people hear His voice clearer. And if they discern what God is saying then ask Him to let them know.
