Feel What You Feel

He sits with us and holds us in the turmoil of our emotions.

"When I was upset and beside myself, You calmed me down and cheered me up."

Psalm 94:19 (MSG)

We may sometimes think we can't be afraid or anxious, or else we'd be a 'bad Christian' or 'bad person,' but with God all our feelings are allowed. No feeling is off limits. Go ahead and feel whatever you feel! Just know you are whole right now. God is taking care of your feelings. He knows what you've gone through and are going through. Just know there's nothing wrong with you as a person or as a Christian. You are normal, not deficient or 'bad!' You are normal and okay and alright and a good person, even in the midst of fear and anxiety, frustration and doubt. Whatever feelings you have are God's problem and concern, not yours. He is dealing with it all, and it's not for you to deal with! He's got your back. He's responsible for helping you. You are a normal human being and allowed to feel anything you feel. You are alright and taken care of by God no matter what.

A Thought: Thank You, Jesus, for understanding me in all my feelings. You know what it is like to be human!

May the amazing grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the extravagant love of God, and the intimate friendship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you. 2 Co. 13:14
