Faith is not about feeling good

What I learned about faith is that it is not positive thinking. It is not to make you feel good or to feel better about the situation.

Faith is understanding that in the midst of challenging situations in life, you decide to press on knowing that God is in the middle of it.

It is trusting that God knows what’s best for you and that you’re riding along with it. And that will not make you feel good most of the time.

It’ll give you peace, but no, feeling good is not on the list.
