For years I gave up everything to follow my emotions. I stayed with friends because I felt I loved them, and found myself drawn into the darkness they were in. I lost my first family doing that, I got kicked out of my house as a teenager , doing that, and you know what when I was in need these friends that I gave up everything for , abandoned me. Yes I knew right from wrong, but chose my friends over right, over truth, all because I loved them. Jesus taught we must love God over our carnal relationships, Yet I could never deny my flesh , which my emotions are apart of, to do the right thing. It has been said that a day may come when we will have to choose God over our lives, will my emotions decide for me then also. Will love of life and friends make me choose the mark. I hope that what I go through today makes me strong enough to make the right choice. I say if you know there is darkness, untruth, and idolatry in a place or situation your in, and stay because you love your fellows, then who are you choosing to lay down your life for.
