Let your “wants” rule your “feelings”.
I want you to know the difference between what you “feel like doing” and what you “want to do”.
You will not always feel like dragging your butt out of bed at 6am to pray/read the bible but you want to know God/express your love for Him/see Him answer you.
You will not always feel like starting your workout or going as long or hard as you planned. But you want to have energy, be healthy, and model good habits for your kids.
You will not always feel like sticking to the budget. But you want to be in a position to be generous to others and provide some measure of security for your family.
Guys, you will not always feel like listening to your wife tell you the same story for the 20th time. But you want a marriage where she feels honored and safe.
Women, you will not feel like having sex as much as he wants you to have it. But you want his eyes, affections, and energy.
I bring this up because if you intend to follow Christ, along the way you will have to do many things you don’t feel like doing, but basically nothing you don’t deep down want to do.
His yoke is easy and his burden is light.
