The only hard evidence I have heard for major changes in life were FEELINGS!!! Feelings should not control us, we should CONTROL our feelings in my opinion. Joel Osteen does a great job of providing empowerment and reason to support that we shouldnt allow something so unstable as our feelings to control us. Often easily stated and not easily done. AJ mentioned that one of his family members were very supportive and stated God is only concerned about his soul; he is not concerned about the vessel. He did not elaborate on his personal beliefs, but appeared to be at peace about her perspective.
I know God is Love and love covers a multitude of sin(1 Peter 4:8). I know that regardless of what we do God loves us, but requires us to choose to LOVE HIM also. The Bible states if we LOVE HIM we should follow his commandments (John 14:23).
We can get so wrapped up in ourselves and forget that we have a CREATOR that made us in HIS IMAGE!!! A creator that states we are FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made(Psalm 139:14). A creator that if we took the time to seek HIM; He would provide His will for our lives.
Sometimes its easier to go with the grain, than go against the grain. It's easy to surrender to temptation. Sometimes we are not mentally tough, and do not seek Godly counsel to help us. There are a lot of scenarios that maybe presented as to why we do the things we do; but feelings should not dictate things that are life altering.
It's amazing to me how many people do not take responsibility for themselves, their minds, and life. They give up responsibility to feelings, media,and society. They pretend to allow outside sources to control who they are and what they do. Which is sad. Really the choice lies inside, in our personal thoughts and minds.
