Pastor’s Pen
Emotions are powerful. Emojis have been invented to express emotions of a person’s state of mind. In the age of texting, some simply send one of these emojis as a response. But emotions can be deceiving in many ways. Emotions can blind a person from rationality. Emotion can spur a person into action. Emotion can control our actions. But as a Christian, we are commanded to be controlled by the Holy Spirit and follow the leading of God in our life. Our emotion at times can lead us to a path of despair and feel as if God no longer is near nor cares. Child of God, this could be no further than the truth. God does care and He is good! Our circumstances influence our emotion but circumstances do not influence God. He is steadfast, true and loving no matter the circumstances we face. Do not allow the enemy to turn your eyes on the circumstances and make emotion your ruler. Trust that the same Jesus is with us each step of the way.
