Feelings Matter.

God made me... with feelings. He made me special, unique, and for himself. He made me in his image. In his image, who roars through thunder, angers at the nations, and compassions on his lambs. His image which contains creativity and intellect, as well as emotions and feelings.

Let me be okay with feelings. They are mine. They are His. They are are in-check, but they are real. And it's okay that that they are real. It's okay that I don't only just think, that I am not only logic, that I don't shut off my heart. It's okay not to just tough every thing out or bury it away. It doesn't make me an alien, it doesn't make me wrong, it doesn't make me less. It makes me His. It makes me, me.

So let me be that way. Don't try to round them off, make me feel like they don't matter, or put them aside to be like you. They don't make me alien, they are me.

So when I feel sensitive, when I feel sad, when I feel anger, when I feel hurt. See me, appreciate me, love the depth of me. When I am elated, when I am intense, when I am joyful, when I am calm, breathe in this too as me. God gifted me with feelings, and it's okay.

But please, let it matter. Let it matter how I feel and who I am. Do not try to overshadow this or dumb it down. How I feel is important, it does matter. It's not wrong, it's okay. It's me.
