A Feeling You Can't Describe

As I listen to a lady tell her conversion story of how she found Christ in her life, this unique feeling came over me.  It was nothing overwhelming, or anything to fear, but subtle peace.  As she spoke this feeling told me her story was all true.  As she bore testimony of the happiness which comes from following Christ, the feeling caused her words to ring true inside me.

The feeling is happiness. The feeling is peace.  The feeling is love.  Its like receiving a hug from someone you know and love in a time of need.  The feeling is amazing, but so hard to explain.  Words don't seem to give justice to this divine feeling...

But what is this feeling that is so hard to explain?

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

This feel is the Spirit!  We all have the chance to feel it if we put ourselves in the right place, and open our hearts!  I am grateful for this indescribable feeling, that Heavenly Father sends each one of us personally to let us know of the His truth.

FOLLOW, and ACT when this feeling is sent to you!

Somethings Just Can't be Put into Words

What is Love?  I will let you roll that one around in your head for a moment.  You are probably thinkin' something along the lines of when you really really like someone, like really like, or to as far as when you are willing to give up your life for someone.  These are some definitions of love, but I do not think it gives love justice.  Love is not black and white, or plain and simple, the only real way to know love is to feel it.

There are just somethings in life we can't explain with words.  That is okay, I would even go as far as to say God made us that way.  We can't figure everything out in life with our minds, there are somethings the heart has to handle.


It is like when we are faced with a big decision, we usually brainstorm all the outcomes and possibilities, but I dare say 9 times out of 10 we go with our gut feeling, whether it be the most logical or not.  We are all blessed with the influence or light of Christ, we need to rely on and recognize these feelings as they come to us!

In Galatians 5:22,23 gives a description of what the spirit feels like.  Now, this is a helpful guide to understand or recognize the spirit, but until you feel the spirit, you won't know.

God gives us the opportunity to feel something amazing, but we can't necessarily put it in to words.  The feeling is an emotion which can not be fully explain in words.  Once you feel it, you know.  It is not a mind game! God will touch our heart when we are ready and fill our heart with the spirit.

Maybe we can't exactly explain how it feels, or exactly how we know in words.  Words are not everything.  A definition does not make something fact.  Just like with love, it is indescribable, but it's still REAL!

Next, time you are asked "Well...what does it feel like or how do you know?"  good luck explaining it, but instead I would encourage you to challenge your friend to find out for themselves, by humbly kneeling down and praying to God....wait....and feel.  We need to help everyone find, and be familiar with this indescribable blessing, let's help everyone feel the spirit!
