The past few weeks have been filled with many trials and difficulties. It is a very personal matter that I don’t want to really discuss further and continue to dwell on. I know that I don’t have control over everything. I can’t make everyone happy. I can’t control other people’s feelings. What they do is between them and God. But I failed yet again. Because I reacted irrationally. However, it was a mistake that made me realize how helpless I really am without God’s wisdom. I had allowed my emotions to dictate my own decisions again. My emotions tempted me to do things that I desire not to do.
I did what I felt.
Why did God have to design women to be more emotional than men? It has always been a constant battle for me between what I feel and what I know is right and rational.
Some things that I was taught from my pastor-teacher:
Emotional stress causes people to act on impulse.
The emotion of fear, also a sin, causes flight.
The emotion of disgust causes repulsion.
The emotion of anger causes violence.
Instincts are reflex behavior based on emotion rather than on
thought.
