Don't go off of feelings

My mom, Patsy Ruth once told me,"you can never go by feelings when it comes to being totally committed to God". There are times when we just don't feel like being kind. There are times when we don't feel like being the bigger person. There are times when we don't feel like turning the other cheek. We will always have those moments when we don't feel like doing what we ought to do as Christians. However, we cannot go off of how we feel. We must know that we are peculiar, set apart and downright different. We must realize that we are strong when we are able to exercise self-control, restraint, responsibility and unwavering commitment to God. God will always cause us to to prevail in difficult situations when we put our relationship with Him above anything else.
