Intercession

Vicarious intercession means that we deliberately substitute God’s interests in others for our natural sympathy with them. - Utmost 05.04

Seems so logical, and yet it seems I get it messed up so often. Feelings are important, but apparently they're not more important than God's interests. Go figure.

that hit me quite hard as well. its so easy to let emotions run their course freely. even when its out of 'love'. mm..our love can never amount to His =)
