Tricky Emotions

Emotions are complicated enough when trying to distinguish them, let alone trying to prevent emotions from interfering with what we need to do or think about. 

 

Emotions can be both a great gift and a curse. We can feel a loved through an action or knowing that causes a good feeling to come over us or we can feel angry that causes or faces to get red or our minds to become fogged. 

We have to be mindful of our emotions because they can easily lead us atray when we try to stay in one direction and get side tracked by a circumstance that gets our emotions wound up and take us off our path in righteousness. 

Don’t forget that the enemy will always try to get us caught up in ourselves by placing random thoughts or people that either naturally cause us to get an automatic emotion to fire up or cause someone whom you’ve known and trusted to do or say something that “blindsides” you and causes a deep pain or frustration in us.

Don’t be fooled by your emotions, you should never lead by anger or jealousy or any other negative feeling. Likewise don’t be tricked into feeling good when you allow yourself to give into vices that you know are wrong, despite the fact that they cause good ‘feelings’ they can lead you down the opposite path that God has for you.
