Our emotions are part of the beautiful human expression designed by God. We feel love, happiness, exuberance, sadness, compassion, contrition, and so much more. The range and intensity of certain emotions are like dash lights for our soul. They are indicators of deeper problems or of deeper peace. Have you ever seen someone handle a very difficult situation with grace? Have you ever seen someone handle a minor problem with uncontrolled emotions? If we don’t manage our emotions, our emotions will mismanage our life!
