What image do you see when you look into the mirror. I am not asking whether you are pleased with what you see there because what we think we see may look better than reality. Let me consider it another way. I believe that we can look good to ourselves because we feel good about ourselves even though we are walking outside the will of God. This is not to denigrate feelings I believe that feelings are essential to our overall well-being.
Feelings are an integral part of relationships.
Feeling is essential to the health of human beings. God created us with the ability to feel emotional response to things, both positively and negatively. Our Father in heaven desires us to experience His love with joy and love. However, I believe that when we seek to let our feelings exclusively guide us in our decision making process we are setting ourselves to failure. This is especially true when it comes to what we see when we look in the mirror.
