Emotion or Reality?

Sometimes I feel alone. I feel as though my struggle with life is a battle that I fight by myself with the help of no one. I feel as if I were a boy that can't swim stuck in the middle of an ocean like Jonah. The greatest thing though is that when I feel like this I know that it really isn't true. Emotion is not bad but it really messes with what is true. When our emotions get in the way of what we know to be true we need to stick to the Truth that we hold in our minds and hearts. When I feel alone I know that the truth is that Jesus promised to be with his people to the end of the age (Matt. 28:20). If I rely on my feelings alone I am going to go crazy because I am an imperfect person trying to live a perfect life. It just doesn't add up. So, let's stop relying our emotions to determine Truth and look to the Bible and stick to the Bible to understand what reality is. So, when I feel alone I know that really I am not. I know that God is with me to the end of the age. And when I feel God isn't "close" I know the Spirit dwells in me. God is good!
