When we study the life of Jesus, we learn he HAD emotions but he did not lead by them. And if it helps, think of it this way…how different would things be if he had? Emotions are good. God created them. But they shouldn’t steer the direction we go in. Having battled my mind since I was a kid, I’ve often been emotionally-overcharged & emotionally-inconsistent. And boy, have I made stupid decisions during those moments! I’ve since learned that emotions are a good response but a terrible decision-maker. So what to do? Entrust your emotions to God. We don’t need to add one more thing to our lives by trying to control all the emotions that are flowing through us. So round up all your emotions and lift them up to God. And get back to breathing, being still and letting Him (not your emotions) guide your life.
Amen
Amen
