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.
