Actions Produce Feelings

One of the ways God has wired us - which is contrary to society's opinion - is that actions produce feelings. Society has taught us - "If it feels good - do it - if it doesn't - then don't".

The world has taught us to follow our feelings - the problem is that we often are in a cycle of defeat that only becomes more & more difficult to break. The reason - we give in to wrong feelings - then as we act them out - we solidify the cycle...Wrong actions produce wrong feelings produce wrong actions produce wrong feelings...etc...

However, God created us so that our actions always generate a feeling from them. In other words - you can never feel good about acting wrong or you can't feel bad about doing right. It’s just the way it is…

So, if you want to "feel better about yourself" - then act better - the feelings will follow. If you wait on the feeling - it's not going to happen...
