CONTROL EMOTIONS

Control Your Emotions..or they will control you.

I think I've put my brain on over load. Sometimes I tend to think more is better..to get to that finish line. It seems to be part of our human nature.
Gods word teaches us that less is more.
Mathew 20:16 So the last shall be first and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. K.J.V.

I really enjoy the down to earth, and personal experiences of evangelist; Joyce Meyers. She tells it like it is. Most of us can relate to many of her life's experiences. There are days when I cram too much of her messages in my brain. It gets jumbled and I am not able to focus on one thing and learn a simple lesson. I end up doing the very thing she says NOT to do.

I have so much to be thankful for. God has blessed me and has done miracles in my life. It seems the more I learn as I climb that mountain...the harder the journey becomes. There are times I don't have a clue where I'm at in my journey, or what I am feeling. I only know when it doesn't feel good.

I've heard Joyce talk about not living in your emotions. She has also spoke about keeping your mouth shut instead of saying words that hurt. These past two weeks, instead of speaking as the new person I am becoming..on the outside, the old me inside has been spewing out every hurt, and negative feeling. Like a pressure cooker with no thought of the results. This is not from God. It will not get me happiness. Today at church the pastor said couples get into heated disagreements. Satan wants to break up relationships. He said we need to recognize when this is happening, and stop and realize where this is coming from.
God wants us to have healthy bodies, however more importantly is to have a healthy soul on the inside. Your soul is your mind, your will, and your emotions.


I take responsibility and own up to my mistakes. I ask for forgiveness and I am truly sorry. My mouth has been an endless stream of thoughts and feelings coming out in every wrong word.

In the early hours of the morning I woke up hearing myself as James did last night...right before he hung up on me. It was like God pressed the replay button so I could hear myself. It wasn't pretty. I knew I was wrong.

When you see someone acting in a way that is not right...just know...they are preparing to be taught a lesson. Even though I seek to be taught and know Gods will, through reading and listening, the way I really learn is to experience the pain of my mistake.

My challenge from this day on is to mind my own business, not judge others...that's between them and God. Also to keep my big fat mouth shut when I am experiencing feelings I don't understand. God is always there for me to talk to and I trust he wants only the best for me.

The best complement someone gives you, is to mirror your behavior. You've seen children copy what their parents do. I want to see good in others...not the reflection of my uncontrolled feelings and emotions.

Learning...as I go.  J.C.M.
