Emotions play a big part in all of our lives. Many times we make decisions based upon our emotions rather than based upon facts. Generally when we do that, we get ourselves into something we later find out was not the best for us. Our emotions will always reflect how we are feeling when we make decisions and plans for our lives, but they should not be the foundation of our decisions.
God calls us to choose Him by deciding that He is the one that we want to live for, for all eternity. That’s a big decision. He gives us all the facts in the Bible to make the proper decisions. God loves with a decision kind of love as we see in 1 Corinthians 13. Then the emotional love will come and build the factual love to be stronger than ever! God calls us to build faith in our lives to trust in Him for everything at all times. If that love and faith are just emotional decisions, then they will not last, just as if emotional love is all that builds a marriage, it will not last.
Our loving God is to be with all our mind, heart, soul and body. That’s a fact decision. I choose to do that. Thus my faith in God is a choice that becomes an irrefutable fact that God is true in everything He says and does! When things are hard in my life, I need to choose to keep meeting with my brothers and sisters, choose to keep praying and choose to continue to read God’s Word. These choices will make my emotional ties with God and His people stronger than ever!
