The World According to Cara

in the real world

In the real world you are not the reason people feel the way they do. You are not the reason people behave the way they do.

In the real world you are not your feelings. It is not true just because you feel it. God gave us feelings to help us make decisions. But at the end of the day your feelings are your servants not your master.

In the real world you are allowed to make mistakes. One mistake does not make you a failure.

In the real world you can not predict the future.

In the real world you are not the one to decide what things mean. That's God's job and when He had finished creating everything he said it was good.

Paul taught us that mankind loses tough with reality when he removes God from his thinking.

This is from my dads book 'The Gumtree Pulpit'. thought it was interesting enough to blog.

  • Yes I like this too. Though I actually think God gave us emotions to help us understand what is going on in our minds, like a dashboard in a car. All those lights and dials are an indication of how our car is going. Our emotions are an indication of how our life is going.

    Just because the petrol light comes on it doesn't mean you have no petrol! Likewise I agree that something is not true just because you feel it. Though it is worth checking out because you might run out of petrol if you don't :)

  • yeah susan that's good.

    like when something is not right in life. for example we're stressing lots about something, this effects not just our emotions but also our physical wellbeing and just about every other area of our lives as well.
