The Kingdom of God is not about the feelz, but about the realz.

2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight.

The "sight" here represents not only physical senses, but the emotional senses as well.
(This reiterated in the context of chapter 5 with the preference of being away from the body)

Like I said before, emotions are not a bad thing. For one thing, they give us the energy to worship (but not the motivation, God Himself is). But there is also a tendency to idolize them. They can even betray us, and do so often. In times when God doesn't feel like He is there, that is our flesh wrestling with the Truth that God is always there. So let us tone down the feels and remember that Jesus Christ is real(s).

If there is not another world to live for, I must say that this life is a most unutterably empty kind of thing. It is not worthy of a man! But oh, to believe what God tells me, that there is a God, that God became flesh to bear me up to Himself, to believe that I am God’s son, that I have an immortality within myself which will outlast the stars, that I shall one day see His face, and sing His praise forever with cherubim and seraphim—why, there is something here. The man who believes this feels as if he begins to grow; he bursts the poor engrossments of his flesh, and expands into something worthy of a man who is made in the image of the Most High! The principle of seeing everything, and of liking only to get what I can see, and touch, and handle, is the poor instinct of beasts and birds, but the principle of living upon what I cannot see, and upon something that I can believe, is one worthy of a man. As much as man is higher than the beast, so much and yet more a thousand-fold is the life of faith superior to that of mere sight and feeling. - Charles Spurgeon
