This reminds me of the saying I learned some time ago from a sage minister,
“Don’t do what you do because you feel like you feel, but
Feel the way you feel because you do what you do.”

It affirms truths that I live by. Similar to sin starting in the head, moving to the heart and then to the hands. That as Christians, we must remember the heart deceives and can steer us down evil paths. We must be disciplined enough to guard what goes in to our heart and use Scripture to know when to listen to our heart. I need to remember to discipline myself when I don't really feel like doing something. Thanks for this. It affirms truths that I live by.

I read this before saying something or acting rashly today. We have 2 kids with autism & though we love them, at times they are a tremendous drain of our physical & emotional energy, leaving my wife & myself very little quality time together alone. Having said this, it comes on the heels of having prayed out of Psalm 51 recently, about having a broken & contrite heart. I'd forgotten how unpleasant the heat of refining could be. Yours.
