Feelings are good, but… can be bad We are like God, thinking and feeling We are alive and responding We are not perfect Life is not perfect

Some people will do anything to avoid bad feelings! risk, mess, responsibility, conflict, awkward, difficult, fake, comfort, friends. Jesus didn’t live this way. Doesn’t work – more brittle, less character. Romans 5:3-5. Perseverance

There are 2 types of feelings Surface: responding to happenings Core: deeper condition carried; Negative: weary, fearful, angry, grieved Positive: Joyful, optimistic, strong, peaceful The 2 influence each other

There are 2 bases for core feelings World or God; Immediate or Eternal Are your core feelings based on immediate circumstances in world or eternal constants in God? Angels: do not be afraid, I bring you good news that will cause great joy…

Jesus sets the example Hebrews 12:2-3. fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
