FEELINGS

Feelings are part of our human make up. They are what make us alive. Without feelings we will operate like robots. Many have been so hurt or controlled by their feelings that they have chosen to suppress them. This makes them live life alone with poor connections with others. Many are afraid of their feelings because they have not learnt how to handle them. Feelings like waves can be managed. There are storms that come and go. Sometimes it is better to let the storm pass. Other times it is better to try and divert them Suppression may not be the best way to handle them. However it is better to bite the tongue than to express them. Emotions are like energy that needs to be channeled to maximum advantage. Like dark clouds they come and go. When you are feeling happy than all is well. However the feeling will not last long. When you are down the same thing happems. Out of control feelings have never been trained and therefore wrecks havoc on all around and on oneself. The solution to managing feelings is to face them and than to deal with them by addressing the underlying assumptions and thoughts. Wrong assumptions lead to negative thoughts which spark off negative feelings. You need to train your brain to recognise this and than slowly but surely you will be able to manage your feelings better. Come to Jesus who will help you calm the storm by lying on His breast where their is peace that passes all understanding. The clouds came and the storms raged but He slept while all around panicked. A safe hiding place is He and from this base you can conquer any mountain.
