Emotions

We all experience emotions that may disturb or distress us. Our first reaction may well be to bury these feelings deep inside. Kind of like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind..."I'll think about that tomorrow". In the act of burying these emotions we may choose to deny them or simply distract ourselves with other issues in our life. Emotions are part of being human. If we choose not to experience pain, anger, jealousy or any number of intense emotions they will affect the way we experience life.

God wants us to deal with our emotions as they happen and keep them from changing our attitudes towards others or the world in general. With God's help, we have the strength to face them; we must have the courage to trust He will lead us through.
