Are you feeling afraid? Insecure? Unworthy? Weak? Unloved? Worthless? Helpless? Lonely?
There are Positive and Negative emotions. I was reading and found out there are quite a few, but I will only go over a few today, the most common ones. There are the positive ones: love, joy, compassion, hope, thankfulness, and grief. There are also the negative ones: fear, anger, jealousy and envy, pride, guilt, resentment, and anxiety.
Emotions and Feelings are part of our character. God made us with emotions and feelings. These are the responses from our hearts based on our feelings. Giving us the ability to connect positively or negatively. Forex, If you are sad about a situation, death in your family, losing your job, or anything that affects you emotionally, you will eventually burst out crying. So, how are we supposed to deal with our emotions? Is there a healthy way to control them? A biblical way?
Bible Verse:
Proverbs 14:13 says, "Even in laughter, the heart may ache, and rejoicing may end in grief."
Jesus - showed his emotions throughout the bible. A few examples are:
(Crying) John 11:35- Jesus wept. In other verses, he showed compassion (Mark 6:34). Anger (Matthew 21:12), Love, and I can go on and on. However, In all His emotions, He never sinned.
Without emotions, we would never experience all the feelings in life! But we need to be careful because we let our emotions and feelings tell us who we are and what we desire, not what we need. The heart is deceitful, and we have to learn how to fight this back.
First of all, we need to know our identity and essence. Understand, we walk by faith and NOT by our feelings. You cannot let your feelings control you. We have the authority to:
• "We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5b, NIV.
You need to trust God above all! And wait on him. But when he tells you to walk you 👠
by faith, girl! You don't let FEAR stop you.
Today, I want to encourage you to understand that God created feelings and emotions. We are human, and yes, we are going to feel pain, anger, and fear, but know that we are able—as daughters of the Almighty—to walk in the supernatural even though we live in the natural world. So, we pray up! We believe, and we walk in faith.
Prayer:
Father, help me control all my emotions. Take me to that deeper place of peace of mind. That peace that surpasses all human understanding. Whenever I feel any emotion that will affect me in a negative realm, I can pray up! And changed the course of how I act in any situation.
-Amen
