EMBRACE THE TENSION WITH GOD
This is a message I will champion until the day I die.
Feelings are REAL, emotions are GOOD, and how you feel right now is important.
The truth is still true though. So what do we do when the truth and our feelings disagree? Most of us choose one of these two options:
1. Stuff the feelings so they don't pollute our beliefs; or
2. Change the truth to align with how we feel.
What if neither was the plan that God had in mind?
What if there is a third option that doesn't involve merely stuffing our feelings or slowly drifting from the true north of what we believe in God?
What if we truly embraced the tension WITH God and let Him show us how to navigate the tightrope? What if we actually let our feelings out and clung to the truth?
There is a movement of people rising up who will embrace the tension with God. They will lean into raw and rough emotions while standing steadfast in the truth that His goodness is not up for grabs in the midst of pain. His promises will not become void in the fires of our fear. We won’t try to go around our doubt, but instead we will walk THROUGH the questions – hand in hand, with Him.
