You're not supposed to fight against your feelings. Don't push them away, don't surpress them. Rather, think to yourself: "This feeling is painful and I don't like it, but I will allow myself to feel what I am feeling. It will eventually get better. Feelings are not forever. I am gonna feel this feeling intentionally for a while, then I can distract myself. My feelings are valid and allowed. I am not at war with myself. I don't want to numb myself. I will be happy again soon. There is a time for everything".

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

Psalm 16:11 says, "You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."
My time spent with God is the best part of my day. This is the time He renews my strength, fills me with His joy and reassures me with the truth in His word and guides me in the path l need to take. A time where I reflect on His goodness and mercy, His unfailing love for those who put their trust in Him. It truly prepares me to face the challenges that lie ahead that day .
Have you taken time to be in His presence today?

Are you always this nice?
I was at the glasses place, getting my eyes checked. Talking with the tech who was running the exams, about nothing in particular.
Until she said, “Are you always this nice?” I didn’t know how to respond.
After an awkward silence, she told me about the guy before me. Who – given how he treated her and the garbage he dumped on her – was either having the worst day in his life or was just a raging jerk.
It got me to thinking. About how you and I treat other people.
About how nothing that you and I say or do to each other, no matter how small, is inconsequential. None of it is neutral.
Why? It has everything to do with this simple fact: you and I – and everyone that we have ever met or will ever meet – are made in the likeness and image of God. Every person who ever has been, whoever is, and whoever will be is God’s creation and is destined for eternity.
It’s a profound reality, one that we all too easily ignore. C.S. Lewis puts it this way,
It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest, most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, in a nightmare.
All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics.
There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.
Which means what exactly? It means that what you and I do to other people – what we say to them, how we treat them – has an impact on them. On how they see themselves, on whether they become who God made them to be, on the character of their eternity.
It means that nothing you and I say or do to each other, no matter how small, is inconsequential or neutral.
It means that everything you and I say or do is either building them up or tearing them down. Leading them towards God or pushing them away – especially if we call ourselves Christians.
And it means that for her question, “Are you always this nice?”
There’s only one answer – I need to be.
