Feelings

"The problem is that, because of sin, our feelings can lead us astray. And when I start to let the way I feel dictate how I behave, my life becomes a selfish, misdirected, mess."

"Instead of letting my actions be dictated by my feelings, I have to act based on the truth of God’s character and expectation for me as revealed in scripture."

I don't know where I read these quotes but I keep coming back to them. I like these quotes and I don't like them at the same time. Is this possible? I guess so because that's how I feel. Or am I being misdirected? Anyway, something to chew on.
