Someone told me a few days ago: "Maturity is being able to do the rational thing in spite of how you feel."

I think it makes sense, and sheds light on a lot of things.

But perhaps that statement is not sufficient... what is rational may not always be the right, or even good thing to do. But again then, doing what is right requires a sound mind. And a sound mind is so important to being a godly person.

It is so easy to confuse feelings with faith.
