Message summary & scripture references

As believers, we downplay our feelings and treat them like a bad guide. We do this because many of us have been taught not to trust our feelings. However, God created our feelings, just like He created our body and spirit, so why would we throw away something He created? Instead of throwing our feelings away, let’s learn to use them. A born again believer who studies and meditates the Word consistently can trust their feelings as a guide to discern their calling.
