Feelings or Emotions

Have you ever used the term? “It just feels right.” Maybe your are looking for a new car or busying a new home in a new neighborhood or whatever. You have looked at all the things that are related to that decision and it has for the most part met all of the criteria that you have used in reference to that decision.
Feelings about things and emotions about things are two different scenarios. We need to be careful in making decisions especially when we let our emotions get in the way of us making sound decisions. We bought a new car a few years ago and we had been looking at a pretty blue gray one. After deciding that we would purchase the car we noticed a pretty red one with the same equipment and price. We made the decision at the drop of a hat to buy the red one. Low and behold the car was a lemon. We had noting but trouble with it. I always wonder how reliable the blue gray one would have been.
Of course there are some decisions that we make that are probably neutral driven. In other words it really doesn’t matter if we choose either option. Probably buying the red car really was a neutral decision. We just weren’t very fortunate for the turn of events.. But other decisions can have serious ramifications. For instance if we choose to marry a guy/girl because he/she has lovely blue eyes that are just adorable, and forget every other needful character trait, we could be letting ourselves in for a real experience. It is best, if when making decisions to put the level of study and thought into making the final decision commensurate with the level of consequence or desired result. Obviously some decisions are life changing all the way down to (shall I have a burger or a burrito). One could effect you for life or eternity and the other might cause indigestion. It is important to study the important things out in your mind, and it’s ‘ok’ to ask other for input, but on major decisions a person should make the final decision. Then they own it. We then cannot blame someone else for the decision. Look, we all do the best we can. If after all your effort, you can say, “yea, it feels right” . Hey go for it! And live and do all those things that will make the decision the right one!
P.S. Don’t forget to pray!
