My feelings are not God. 
God is God. My feelings 
do not define truth. God'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.
