Emotions

Emotions; feelings; love; hate; joy; sorrow; fear; peace.
Have you ever had those times when you feel extremely emotional?
Not dramatically emotional, but your heart seems to just toss and turn. You can’t place things together, you can’t decipher what it is your feeling.
Are your emotions deceiving you? Are you feeling this way for a reason? What is going on? A lot of times I react out of these emotions and I almost always
end up doing something I regret.
Through my life I have come to realize that you cannot follow your emotions or your heart, because your heart can be deceived, you have to lead your heart by God’s truths.
But there are those instances when you don’t know how his truths apply. How do you defend yourself with his truth against hurt? When someone has hurt you and you don’t understand why. Why are they doing this? Do they even know they are doing it? How do you defend yourself against those feelings?
You go back to Identity and Purpose.
Remind yourself who you are! You are God’s most beloved child
There isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for your good. (Romans 8:28)
Remind yourself that he has a plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11) and that while you may be hurting now and don’t understand why, because of his love for you
there is hope for the future!

I know it can be SO hard to put our hope his plan for the future because we cannot see it. But if we put our faith, hope, and trust in him and draw closer and closer to him
he will guide and direct our path.

Read his Word! It is the key to everything!
When you don’t know where to turn or what to do, read his Word!

When these emotions come up and you can’t make heads or tails of them, talk to him about them. Write down what you are feeling. You can talk to him and no one will ever know, but it can make a world of difference!
By talking about or writing out what your are feeling and why you are feeling it, it is so much easier to decipher, but talk to Him about it!

Proverbs 2:3-8

3 Cry out for insight,

and ask for understanding.

4 Search for them as you would for silver;

seek them like hidden treasures.

5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the lord,

and you will gain knowledge of God.

6 For the lord grants wisdom!

From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest.

He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.

8 He guards the paths of the just

and protects those who are faithful to him.

9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair,

and you will find the right way to go.

10 For wisdom will enter your heart,

and knowledge will fill you with joy.

11 Wise choices will watch over you.

Understanding will keep you safe.
