Emotion or Feeling?

Jun 19, 2006 16:29

Emotions and feelings are so different. I've learned that in the past 7 years of being a christian most of the tears have been from emotion and not from feelings. When you are emotional it's like a pity part for yourself. How could they have hurt me so bad? I truely trusted them. Why does this have to happen to me? And it's not always negative either you can have positive selfish emotion too. Feelings though, are more focused on what is causing the hurt or pain and working through the feelings to get to know why they are there and what you can learn from them about yourself so that you can then change into a more Christlike creation.

Because after all, everything we are going through and living for is to be more like Christ and to glorify God. It is in the best interest for the body and myself that I filter out the emotion and get right to the feeling so that I can ask God what is the truth behind what I am feeling and what are the lies that satan has been attacking with me for so long. Giving in to the emotion doesn't help anyone and infact it hinders me and others more then anything. I feel like I've been lost for a while and the body is so much further ahead then I am and that I have so much that I need to catch up on. But God is able to complete the good work in me that He has started.
