Feeling, Faith & Fact... and Heidi

“Three men on a wall: Feeling, Faith and Fact. Feeling took an awful fall, and Faith was taken back. Faith was so close to feeling that he fell too, but Fact remained and pulled up Faith, and that brought Feeling too.”

Spring is here and it’s time to get outside and enjoy it (Fact)! A few weeks ago Heidi decided to take advantage of this weather and fly her kite. The wind seemed to have a mind of its own, and that brought some doubt as to whether or not the kite would fly (Faith). After several failed attempts, she was getting rather disheartened and was about to give up… (Feeling)

All of a sudden, the wind picked up again and her kite flew high into the sky (Fact).

She watched with pleasure the kite—that was just moments ago lying limp on the ground—soar above her like a bird... or rather, dolphin. The doubt was cleared from her mind (Faith), and once again she was happy (Feeling) with a smile on her face. J

~ The End ~

    It's so easy for us to let our feelings control how we think, and what we believe. Many times I find myself trusting my feelings, rather than relying on what I know to be true (God's Word); and the results are, more often than not, disastrous. Head-knowledge and lip-service are not enough, we must trust God and allow Him to direct our steps.

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." ~ Proverbs 3:5-6
