Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk
God made our emotions and they are a reflection of the way we are wired. We use them in every sphere of life and they are what makes us different from each other, our own unique "human flavor." God is pleased when we use our emotions to respond to him in praise and worship. He also listens when we use emotions to cry out in our distresses. Being emotional is not a sign of weakness (not always at any rate). Sis. Earline Roseman-Martin perhaps says it best:
"Our ability to express our emotions with tears is a gift, and God keeps track of each tear we cry. Psalm 56:8 says, "you keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all tears in a bottle. You have recorded each one in your book." But one day we are promised God will wipe away every tear.
Lord, you have made us to laugh, or to cry to yearn, to love, and to miss those who have gone before us. Help us [use our emotions] to love even more deeply, confident in your goodness and in the resurrection you promised. "
Amen.
