“We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.” ― A.W. Tozer,

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart.” Jesus
There are many dangers if we choose to live by our feelings instead of what we know is good, right, and true. But there are also a good many dangers if we ignore our emotions altogether. We are told to love God with “all” of our heart, not just some of it. What good is head knowledge without the affections of the heart, especially in a relationship? If we love God with our actions, then we should naturally come to love Him with our affections as well. Our affections can be a good way to determine if what we are learning in our head is flowing down into our heart. Feelings are not the final measure; obedience is!
