Facts or Feelings

According to Isaiah 57:15, God lives two places. This is a wonderful, convicting, awesome passage. This 1-minute devotion explains. #BibleLoveNotes #Bible

According to studies, people who never apologize can't deal with "feeling" bad, ashamed, responsible or vulnerable. They want to feel good about themselves.

So we must ask ourselves: Are we more interested in feelings or facts? 

No one likes feeling bad, ashamed, responsible, or vulnerable, but sometimes we're all of those things. 

God expects us to repent even if we were only 10% wrong and the other person is 90%. That's because repentance maintains a healthy relationship with the Lord and restores our confidence and hope. 

God says "I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope." Isaiah 57:15

The non-repentant may feel "happier," but only because they're self-deceived. 

Genuine repentance refreshes, restores, and changes us. It brings Christ-lovers factual happiness and joy--it brings us "where God lives."
