Dealing with emotions!


Your mood is not your life. Your mood is a feeling. It can be temporary and fleeting. It can be birthed by mind picture, a conversation, a person or a momentary fault. Conversation activates memories and memories birth feelings. Emotions are supposed to be the indicators of reality not fabricated or framework of reality.

Greeks translate the human personality as Intellect, Emotions and Will. Emotions is key in coming to God, Feeling and fact has to go together. You cannot worship God without Emotions. The Bible cites a passage on emotional connectivity about Love. It goes like this, “And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.”.

It is very deceiving to confuse your present mood swing with the actual quality of life. Sometimes a temporary fleeting moment may look to be a very good thing creating an escape from the drudgery, distress or disastrous circumstances in marriage or life, but may actually be in utter contradiction to the expectations and standards of God. These moments are glimpses of possibility but may not be the actual reality itself. If your life is miserable and you experience a fleeting moment of joy and happiness, examine it and find out the possibilities to make it better, provided the options are confined to a moral and ethical boundary.

Let me exhort you to approach God who is able to transform you and deliver true peace and joy beyond your feeling level. The Bible says, ‘Come all those who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest.’. We all need rest, peace and joy at all times and it can really make sense if that comes without violating the rights of others and God.
