Feelings

by Kay Heitsch

It's very hard sometimes not to allow our feelings to take control. I know I'm guilty of this. Our feelings can help us to act in kindness and compassion. However, our feelings can also try to push us to act in a negative way.

My personality type is more high strung. In years past it wasn't hard for me to just tell someone off. My negative feelings controlled me. I have come a long way, but I still have to keep a check on how I react to my feelings.

I like this quote, "Inner peace begins when we choose not to allow another person or event to control our emotions."

Our feelings come and go. This is just the way it is. It's up to us to take control over them with God's help.

Help us Lord!
