Young People Ask: What Do I Do About Feelings of Doubt?
Lisa reports that her mother Marge, married and mother of three, said the following about feelings, "Well it doesn't matter how you feel inside, you know? It's what shows up on the surface that counts. That's what my mother taught me. Take all your bad feelings and push them down, all the way down, past your knees until you're almost walking on them. And then you'll fit in . . . and happiness will follow." Surely, the wise course would be to listen to such motherly advice. (Proverbs 1:8; 6:20; 31:1)
