Feelings

Feelings aren’t the source of truth

Feelings aren’t the source of truth
I have heard it said
They take away my peace at night
As I lay awake in bed.

I try my best to take
Them captive in my net
But so many of them slip through
As I often do forget.

They catch me unawares
And before I know it I’m thinking
The very things I don’t want to think
Make me feel I’m unforgiving.

Continues...
and concludes-

We are bought and paid for
By Gods beloved Son.
We may be a work in progress
But the battle He has won.
