Why Do I feel This Way?
I am blessed to have the material things I need to live well and be happy, but still I am not happy – did you ever feel this way?
The things of this world are so mesmerizing that it is easy for a spiritually centered believer in Christ to become focused on material things and be drawn into cultures of this world. If they lose touch with a warmth and affection they once had when they served primarily Him, such a person can yearn for and actually grieve the loss of a connection with a Holy Spirit that once touched their heart and soul.
How could feeling like this be a positive thing? A person feeling this way can be encouraged, realizing worldly things do not satisfy the soul and the person feeling like this can appreciate, they could never have been a true believer if they did not feel the loss.
How strange for one to have such a terrible feeling when all else seems right. Even with fame and fortune and the material things that are supposed to bring happiness to a person, there is often a lack of satisfaction and happiness.
Be encouraged not downcast because the bad feeling can be a sign of a still burning ember of faith that can spark and rekindle a burning love. Such a spiritual fire can warm a cold hearted world.
I pray that anyone who may feel this way, out of touch, with the Holy Spirit experience a return home to the warmth and affection they once knew.
