Love, Feelings and Emotions!

I want to talk about Love today.  Real, grown up love is very hard to do.  Yes I said do.  Because in real grown up love, you have to love when you don't want to, when you feel it is not deserved, when you are getting nothing in return we are still called to love the unloveable.  I also want to talk about feelings...feelings cannot always be trusted.  We are taught to trust our feelings and heart, which can be good advice in some cases but our emotions can get the best of us sometimes and they change daily, hourly, secondly (is that a word?) sometimes.  We cannot get swept up in these emotions, we have to get swept up in God's truth because we know that we might feel differently tomorrow and we know that he sees the whole picture whereas we can only see what's right in front of us at that moment.  Whether you are dealing with a child being difficult, a spouse being difficult, a difficult friendship or work relationships it is best to "be wise" as it says in proverbs and hold our tongues at times.  Its especially important to remember this with the social media world the way it is now....don't put your fleeting emotions on facebook because most of the time you'll feel differently later and regret it, but its too late the damage has been done.  Its the same with these media and twitter wars with celebrities and their different opinions and digs at each other through the media. I just think, grow up and talk to each other face to face or don't talk about it at all.  ***My thoughts for today**** :)
