GSW:
Emotions aren’t all bad—if we learn to master them.

The problem is, most of us are at their mercy. Our emotions toss us around, flinging us in whatever direction they choose. But the goal is to rule and reign over them, not allow them to dictate our present or our future.

In Genesis 4, God told Cain:
“Master your emotion!”

That still applies to us today.

No one can break my heart. You might pinch it, but I’ll just laugh until I heal.
I won’t die like a mere man because of emotions.

We break God’s heart all the time, and He doesn’t go into emotional shock.
But we—we are the ones always getting emotionally overwhelmed over everything.

We need to grow.
