What is the difference in feelings and emotions?

Feelings Emotions
Feelings tell us “how to live.” Emotions tell us what we “like” and “dislike.”
Feelings state: “There is a right and wrong way to be.” Emotions state: “There are good and bad actions.”
Feelings state: “Your emotions matter. Emotions state: “The external world matters.
Feelings establish our long term attitude toward reality. Emotions establish our initial attitude toward reality.
Feelings alert us to anticipated dangers and prepares us for action. Emotion alert us to immediate dangers and prepares us for action
Feelings ensure long-term survival of self. (body and mind.) Emotions ensure immediate survival of self. (body and mind.)
Feelings are low-key but sustainable. Emotions are intense but temporary.
Happiness is a feeling. Joy is an emotion.
Worry is a feeling. Fear is an emotion.
Contentment is a feeling. Enthusiasm is an emotion.
Bitterness is a feeling. Anger is an emotion.
Love is a feeling. Lust is an emotion.

It is not a perfect list and I am sure we could find things we don't agree with.  I will admit I always thought of love as the emotion and not the feelling.

Love is neither a feeling, nor an emotion.   People confuse love with affection.

Then what is love?   

I have affection for my cat, I have love for my wife and children.  There is no confusion at all.

Christ didn't die for us because of feelings or emotions; were that the case, He would have fled at the Garden of Gethsemane. When you are the Son of God, you don't sweat blood over something such as the prospect of mere physical pain. He faced the one thing God did not know personally: being separated from the Father by becoming sin on the cross for us and taking what should have been our  punishment.

 

Yet, Jesus did so anyways.

 

Being God, He so loved the world  that He died for us, not wanting any to perish but that all should come to repentance. At Gethsemane, Jesus asked if there was any other way, but was willing to do the Father's will regardless. Jesus didn't feel like dying on a rough-hewn cross, nor did any of His "emotions" indicate that He wanted to. But love is more than a feeling or an emotion: love is caring for someone's greatest good, especially when it costs you.  It's why you wake up at night to hold a colicky baby; it's why you stay up with your kids when they are sick and you're exhausted from a long day; it's why you care for an elderly parent even though it drains you, and it's why you hug your wife when she just got through exploding and crying about something that happened while you were at work that you have no idea of.

 

Paul said in Scripture:

"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, NASB, emphasis mine)

By necessity, love is more than emotion and feelings; those things are what God equipped us with to help relate with one another. However, they are not the source of love, nor can they be. Were it otherwise, God would have been done with this planet a long time ago.

Yeah, that is pretty confused.

Love is what you do, not what you feel.   In our society "love" songs say things like, "I want you, I need you, I can' live without you."  That is filled with emotion, but it is not love.  It is selfishness.  

Love is operative nature.  It will effect your emotions, but it not an emotion.  Love is rooted in action. 

If a young man has a girlfriend and she likes to eat at a particular restaurant, but they always eat at his favorite spot, if she likes roses, but he brings her carnations, if she likes gold jewelry, but he brings her silver (and this analogy assumes his ability to do what she likes), how long can that pattern continue until she begins to figure out that he doesn't really love her, no matter how many times he says that he does?

Love is not about how I feel, but about what I can do for someone else.  Love, real love, only always wants what makes for someone else's highest good and will work, give and sacrifice to make that happen.   Affection is what we feel.  Love is what we do.  Affection minus love is useless.

Even in the Bible, love is not rooted in emotion, but where God is concerned, love is rooted in obedience.  The Hebrew word for love, ahavah, is a verb, not a noun.  Even in the NT, Agapeo, the NT corollary to ahavah, is also a verb.   Love is an action word, not a feeling word.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
