Why hold onto your emotions?

You know that experienced you had as a child that until today brings you bad memories? It’s like you never forgot about.

Bad memories are more likely to stay stored in our heads than the good ones, but even those are remembered.

 
Do you remember when your classmates used to tell you to do things that didn’t’ have good consequences when you agreed to do them? Or when your friend started gossiping about someone else and you joined in? And all those word’s your parents, siblings and friends told you that made you feel inferior and was hard to forget?
 
Well, in today’s blog we will understand what God says about these thoughts that have the capacity to transform our behavior before these situations.
 
“My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you.” (Prov. 3:1, 2)
 
The first thing I want to draw your attention to is how easy it is to forget about this important teaching, why?
 
Because your emotions deceive you into believing that you are right, which means you ignore Gods teaching and instead live by your emotions. Let’s look again: “… But let your heart keep my commands…” Funny! Isn’t the heart where we store and experience our emotions?  Yes! But it is in our Heart’s that we must separate our emotions and keep the commandments. When we do this we won’t allow our emotions to take control of our life. However, only those who value this can move forward. Only those who keep God’s commandments and are cautious will not allow themselves to live by what they feel.
 
How many bad things have happened to you all because of words from your past? How many times were you depressed or worried because of things you were holding on to or even broken promises that were never fulfilled?
 
God is faithful! And if you keep His commandments in your heart, then you will have many years of life and peace.
