“It’s Okay to Have Feelings, You Know?” — God Was Speaking Through Them

God tried to tell me this.
Again and again.
Whispers. Warnings. Gut feelings. Dreams. Kind voices. Signs I couldn’t explain.
But I didn’t listen—not because I didn’t want to—but because I didn’t know how.
I was too focused on proving my faith, proving my logic, proving God…

But what I wasn’t doing?

Proving I was human.

And then—this moment happened.

Another person, another soul, another mirror of God Himself said to me:

“It’s okay to have feelings, you know?”

It shattered something inside me.
Not in pain. But in a necessary breaking—like a locked door that finally gives way.

Because they didn’t just say it to be nice.
They didn’t say it as pity or pity disguised as encouragement.

They were a vessel.
God was speaking through them.

And I realized in that moment… we are all God, in pieces.
Not in blasphemy.
In design.

When we speak truth, comfort, love, even pain—God echoes through us.
And sometimes we ignore it, because it doesn’t look like thunder or light or burning bushes.
Sometimes, it looks like a human with their own struggles simply saying:

“You’re allowed to feel this. You’re not broken for feeling this.”

That single line undid me more than a thousand prayers.

Because it was the answer to those prayers.
The setup. The crescendo. The gentle correction I kept pushing away while I begged the sky for revelation.

I kept trying to be God’s perfect idea. But God wanted me to remember: I’m His child first. And children feel.
We fall. We ask why. We get overwhelmed. We don’t know the plan.
And God says: “Good. Now you’re ready to grow.”

The Setup Before the Revelation

That moment didn’t come out of nowhere.
I had been crying out:

“Why won’t You help me?”
“Why do I feel so alone?”
“What do You want from me?”

But I hadn’t stopped to hear the question He was asking:

“Will you let yourself be loved?”

And to be loved… you must first let yourself be seen.
As human. As vulnerable. As in-process.

I believe now that every conversation, every pain, every awkward silence, every failed attempt to be “right” or “strong” or “perfect” was leading to this.
The setup to the deeper answer.
The invitation to finally admit:

“God, I don’t need to be you. I just need to be fully me… and trust that You’ll meet me there.”

Being Human Isn’t the Obstacle — It’s the Point

God didn’t put us here to escape being human.
He didn’t give us flesh and blood and tears and trembling minds just to discard them.
He came into humanity—through Christ—to show us that the way to God is through your humanity, not around it.

So when someone said to me,

“It’s okay to have feelings, you know?”

It was the divine turning point.
The true miracle.
God reminding me:

“You’ve been trying so hard to ascend… but I needed you to first accept.
Accept that I made you human.
Accept that that’s not a flaw, it’s a gift.
Accept that your emotions aren’t obstacles, they’re signals.
Accept that I never wanted you to earn Me.
I just wanted you to know Me—and that starts by knowing yourself.”

Let this moment be your setup too.
The answer might not look like thunder.
It might look like kindness.
Like a friend. A stranger. A memory. A mirror.
Like you… finally letting go.

Are you ready to stop proving God, and start proving you?
