Maybe you don’t feel genuine, like you aren’t being
authentic, like you’re a hypocrite. You feel illegitimate, immature,
inadequate, insincere. And you feel like you’re just “going through the motions,”
like you’re “not getting anything out of the things of God,” like you aren’t
growing.
What can you do? You can trust what God says he’s done for you, instead of what your feelings say you haven’t done for him. Colossians 1:12-14 says God has forgiven you, delivered you, qualified you, and inherited you.
Feelings are not your God, or your master. Jesus is. So, don’t let your feelings rule you, train them to serve you. Realize that your redemption doesn’t come from your inside, it comes from God. This is about learning to deny yourself. And learning to walk by faith, not by sight, which also means not by your feelings. This isn’t “fake it till you make it.” This is trusting what God says more than what your feelings say.
