More Than… In Life, Love, and the Hereafter Emotions
When God created us in His image, that image included our emotions. So that we can become MORE-THAN and NEVER LESS-THAN, God gives us all things to enjoy, mature and healthy emotions bring meaning and purpose to our lives through all we have been given. The significance of you and I becoming MORE THAN in our Emotions is this. First, emotions are like breathing air - inhale, exhale. They are the fluid ever present current within us: they define our inner world and give us a running commentary on the outer world. Even our awareness of life starts with emotions. Our emotions are so present and persistent that our spiritual growth and our life's well-being demand of us a stronger understanding of emotions. They are closer to us than our skin, than the air we breathe. Emotions are as constant and present as the weather surrounding us. We need to understand and manage them. Emotions unchecked and rampant they are a wrecking ball and a cruel task-master - harnessed and re-directed they are a catalyst for courage and conquest. No, it's even MORE THAN that!!! We can learn to use the emotions and feelings we have, processing them in the way God has desired us to - or they can betray us and derail us. But God has a process and purpose for our emotions and what we feel so that we are becoming and overcoming, so that we are MORE THAN in our Emotions and never settling for LESSER-THAN He has intended. We can start this process with the words of Jesus, and the words of Paul His apostle...
Matthew 6:33 ESV
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
