Emotions literally tell us what to do with our marriage, family, job, career, self, and how we love others.
We act, react and think according to our emotions.
Sometimes, it will motivate you for good things and sometimes it will also motivate you for BAD things.
“Often, I fail to meet my own expectations. Sometimes I just cry, or I get so angry that I take it out on those around me. It’s hard to control what I’m feeling.”
Emotions and anger are related. Bible’s 25:28 says: “If you cannot control your anger, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack.” What makes it so hard to control our feelings?
