Even though God can be touched by your feelings, and even though He became flesh to bear your sorrows, and even though He is the Comforter, remember that He is not an emotional God.

God is spirit, not soul. Faith is spiritual. Emotions are not spiritual. They are soulish. God is a faith God. He is a God of Love. There is spiritual love and humanistic love. They are not the same thing.

Human love is very nice. Human love is superficial.
Human love can change to hate in a second.

God’s love is kind. God’s love has a red fount, in the blood of Christ Jesus. God’s love is transforming.

Always learn to separate your emotions from your faith. Don’t be stoic. Have feelings. Pour them out before God; but remember that they are your feelings.

God can touch your feelings and know them; but if you want to touch His feelings and know them, have Faith. Only faith. Just faith.

When a baby is crying and the mother comes to carry it, it stops. Why?

Is it because the tears have run dry? No. The baby has some faith in its mother.

If you needed one million naira today, and the richest man in the world met you and asked you what you wanted, will you keep crying?

No. Why? You have some faith in his ability.

1 Samuel 30:4
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

1 Samuel 30:6
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: BUT DAVID ENCOURAGED HIMSELF IN THE LORD his God.

1 Samuel 30:8
AND DAVID ENQUIRED AT THE LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

.

John 11:35
Jesus wept.

John 11:38
Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.

John 11:41
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. AND JESUS LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND SAID, FATHER, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.

.

When you have finished weeping.

Do likewise.

Jesus is alive, and He is Lord.
