Wise Words on Wednesday: Feelings, nothing more than feelings

“Those who take no other guidance in the spiritual life but their particular dispositions and feelings, who fancy that they have nothing more important to do than to examine themselves as to whether they feel devout or not, such can have no stability nor any certain rule; because our dispositions change continually, sometimes owing to our own sloth, sometimes by the ordinance of God, Who varies His gifts towards us according to our needs”

– Brother Lawrence, Practice of the Presence of God
