Desire
There is a willed desire and a felt desire. The two are not the same, though it’s wonderful when they run together. We can orient ourselves to do good even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, and self-sacrificial. Do good as God is good. It’s okay not to feel good in the moment. Maybe the feelings will catch up. Could this be a distinction between spiritual disciplines (good works) and spiritual practices (with good feelings attached)?
