Godīs feelings
Who cares about God's feelings? Do you think that God is so great that whatever you do, He feels nothing? God is a speaking, seeing, hearing and emotional person. Take His feelings into your consideration!
Feelings come from thoughts
Does He who has planned the ear not hear? Does He who has formed the eye not see? Does He who has created our emotions not feel? God has perfect and pure feelings, because His thoughts are good and complete. Because God created us in His own image, He gave us feelings. Sin has spoiled His image in us. We often feel wrong feelings because our thoughts and attitudes are bad.

God is sad
"The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. The LORD was grieved that He had made man on the earth, and His heart was filled with pain." Gen.6:5-6 God is grieving for our evil deeds. If you concern about His feelings, you want to make Him glad. If you regret your sins and confess them to Him, His grief over you is removed.
God has shed tears for you! Do His tears mean nothing to you? Look at His eyes glazed by His tears! He has weeped so much for hardness of our hearts that His tears have made like a sea of glass in heaven.

God is angry
When people have deeply enough devoted themselves to their wrong thoughts, God's grief is changing into anger. "You have kindled my anger, and it will burn for ever." Jer.17:4 From the justness of God comes out strong anger. It flows out from Him as a river of fire. "A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before Him." Dan.7:10 His anger forms the lake of death. "The lake of fire is the second death." Rev.20:14
God has been angry with you! Have you no fear of His judgement? Look at His fiery eyes that see and know everything.

God is well pleased
God loves goodness. He is well pleased with those who think, speak and do right. Full of loving emotion He says about Jesus: "This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I AM well pleased. Listen to Him." Matth.17:5 God has expressed His love to us by making Himself known as the Father and the Son. If you don't believe in the Son of God, you cannot feel God's love. Jesus expressed love for the Father by obeying His will. You can express your love for Jesus by obeying what He commands.
God is pleased with a perfect man, Jesus Christ! Look at His loving eyes when He says about Jesus: "This is my Son, whom I love." If you believe in Jesus, the Father will be pleased also with you. Because of your faith the goodness of Jesus is credited to you.

God is gracious
God feels pity and sympathizes with His enemies. He is willing to forgive. Therefore He prepared the salvation for us in His Son, Jesus. He sent down His most precious and most beloved One to meet His enemies. Jesus accepted our guilt and thus had to face the anger of God. He suffered our punishment. "God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Rom.5:8
Think about God's feelings on Golgotha! On the cross there was His most beloved one and the one He hated most. On the cross there was the beloved Son of God and the sin that God hates. How much the heart of the Father God suffered pain at that moment! The river of blood came out of Him and obtained eternal atonement for those who believe in Jesus.
God has sacrificed His most precious for you! Don't you reply to Him? Look at His eyes broken by pain. He wants to be gracious to you.

God is glad
When He had got His Son back home He was glad and happy. He exalted Jesus to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name so that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth. When God rejoices, the river of the water of life comes out of Him. Wherever this river flows life will appear.
Jesus said that there will be great rejoicing in heaven when one sinner repents. God rejoices in you, if you receive Jesus as the Redeemer of your sins. Don't you honour God's feelings He had on Golgotha? Are you really able to pass by His great pain? He experienced it for your sake!
God has given you Jesus to be the spring of life! If you reject Him, you love death. Look at His happy eyes. He has destroyed death and He has all power.
