The Storm Inside: Trade the Chaos of How You Feel for the Truth of Who You Are Quotes

“God speaks nothing but the truth, and His infallible Word cannot lie. So rather than try to make the Word of God fit my emotional state, I am committed to line up my emotions with God's Word. My emotions can change in a moment, but God's Word is rock solid, so I am learning to drag my emotions in line with what is always true, not just what might feel true for a moment. And I want to do so with integrity, not pretense. When faced with a fresh disappointment, I can choose to navigate true north between the currents of despair and denial. For me that usually means an out-loud, honest conversation with God.”

“...when a heartbroken daughter of the King offers her pain and suffering to Christ, the enemy suffers a great defeat. Do we feel strong? No, we feel heartbroken. But when we enter into that divine exchange and take our sorrow to Christ, we become strong in His strength.”
