Time for a Great Quote! (Piper on our feelings)

27 Jun

“My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. Screen Shot 2015-06-08 at 4.48.26 PMGod’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes – many times – my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens – and it happens every day in some measure – I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.”
John Piper, Finally Alive: What Happens When We Are Born Again?
