Emotions

Can a leopard change its spots? Will an avalanche melt in winter? Do ants run away from food? The answer is no three times over to these questions, and neither did God create humans without emotions. We express them when we're happy or sad. We're bombarded by them during life's celebrations or grievous memorials. We're never devoid of them. Time helps to redeem our losses after we've misappropriated our emotions. Even though time redeems, there's nothing that can heal our emotions like those times when we bathe them in God's Word. To be truthful, some of us could use a long soaking bath to cleanse us from negative emotional buildup. Where physical bathing is great for rejuvenating the body, spiritual bathing is able to spruce up our emotions and make us clean. There are no short-cuts or catchy formulas. We don't need them! We are able to manage the litany of emotions through staunchly moving forward and deliberately handing them over to God. Amazing days await someone who is ready to push through the ups and downs of life. How refreshing! Finally, a book that deals where the rubber meets the road - EMOTIONS! We all need this book! It's not a book for women it's a book for everyone. The book is excellent in its ability to shoot straight with the reader in reference to the pitfalls we often find ourselves in emotionally, and yet the book never condemns us. This book paves the way for us to live successfully in relationship with God and people, and not waste so much time on the "whys" and "hows". It will stir your faith to live a life filled with hope and love, knowing that God is at work in you! This book is now on my "Fav List" for sure.
