I often find myself grasping desperately for a balance between emotion and reason. Though I don't always know what I want, I often yearn. Yet intellect tells me that I have all that I need to be happy and more, why follow a longing that might take that away? Be daring and bold, or cautious, discerning. Which mind will control my decisions? I think the answer is not found in emotion or reason, through which I have searched long and hard, but rather through courage and wisdom.
Yet I doubt myself.
If it feels so right, can it be wrong? Can something that makes so much sense be that evil? What if take a road in between, and compromise both for the middle?
But there is another way out, one I neglect. One I don't try to understand. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Wisdom. Desperately needed, ferociously resisted, wonderfully untainted wisdom. Will I do what feels right? What seems right? Or will I take the high road out, the way that shows God's wisdom?

"If it feels so right, can it be wrong?" -Famous last words.
Definitely...the hard road seems to be doing what God asks of us. So many times I find myself doing the selfish thing, and God'll catch me, and set me right....and it's so muchmore joyful, more wonderful...and RIGHT (the first two seem to stem from the third). Doing what's hard ultimately brings joy! While doing what's easy, or folllowing what feels right brings "happiness" which quickly fads to regret.
