We hear it all the time: “Don’t be emotional.”
Feelings make you weak.
That’s a lie.
Emotions aren’t weakness—they’re signals.
They remind you that you still have a pulse.
The problem isn’t emotions themselves, but letting them use you instead of you disciplining them.
Left unchecked, emotions stagnate.
They paralyze.
They whisper lies.
But placed in the hands of Jesus Christ, emotions become refined.
They stop being dictators and start being indicators.
I’ve learned that when my heart is overwhelmed, the answer isn’t to suppress emotion—it’s to pray,
“Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.”
Jesus Christ doesn’t erase what you feel; He anchors it.
Living like this doesn’t mean every day is easy.
But it does mean emotions stop driving your decisions, and Christ begins to rule in their place.
That’s freedom.
So let me ask: are your emotions using you, or are you using them as tools in the hands of God?
Know someone ruled by their feelings?
