WHEN YOUR FEELING IS CONTRARY TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE
You
know that he/she has anger issues, drinks and flirts and yet you want to commit
your life to him/her because you feel you love him/her greatly, my friend, you
are about to crash your life forever. Many marriages where one of the spouses
is behaving very badly, the behaviour didn’t just spring-up, it has been there
long before the marriage occurred. Many people commit their lives to someone
that has some degree of behaviour that they can’t tolerate yet they went on to
marry because they hoped he/she would change. Wedding ceremony doesn’t change
anyone; it rather amplifies who such person is.
When
what you know about someone isn’t not what you can endure, don’t because of
what you feel about that person override what you know. God doesn’t communicate
what’s right or what’s to wrong to us through our feelings but through
knowledge. If there is a battle between what you feel about someone and what
you know about that person, always let what you know win because eventually
feelings experiences drought, but true knowledge lasts forever.
If
you know that your relationship with someone has no future, discontinue following your feeling, rather act
on your knowledge and end it now, if you know that dating someone will distract
your purpose in life or lead you into the life of sin, don’t hope it wont
because of what you feel about such person, end it.
If
you know that he is not born again and he is not interested in God, don’t because
of you feel you love him marry him in hope that God would change him. I tell
you, most of you would either die or flee before God may change him if he wants
to be change, why not obey God and flee from those He has warned you not to
commit your life or business to.
Do
not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and
iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ
with Belial? Or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? 1cor. 6:14-15
Don’t
make your soul-mate him whom God warned you not to mate with; don’t make your
business partner him whom God warned you to flee from. Those words ‘but I love
him’ is not from God if ‘him is known not to be born again with the fruits of
the Holy spirit evident so some extent in his life’.
Real
love starts from what you know about him/her and not what you feel. Adam knew
that Eve was the bone of his bones, made by God for him, and he based his love
on such knowledge. Please let your love be based on what you know about him/her
before you can commit your life to him/her. If I ask you, ‘why do you love
him/her?’ I don’t expect stupid answers like ‘I just feel attracted to him/her,
I love his/her looks, I cant get her off my mind etc.’ never let you life be
controlled by what you feel but by what you know because definitely what you
feel would sooner rather than later diminish but what you know will continue to
be truth till Jesus comes. One pluse one equals two, and it will continue to
equal two till our fourth generation because its true, yes, if your love is
based on the true knowledge of what you know about someone, that love would
never diminish even after death do you part.
God
bless you
