If everyone did only what they wanted to do nothing would get done. Some people make decisions and sometimes very important ones based on how they "feel" at the time. The Bible says that "a double minded man is unstable in all his ways." So how can we depend on our own feelings. This is something that I struggle with greatly, because I am a very emotional person. My feelings change often and I have to keep them in check with what the Lord wants not what I want.
In the battle of life we must CHOOSE. Choose to take medication because we know it is better for us than the alternative. Choose to go to counseling because we know it will help out ourselves and our family. Choose to exercise because we know it will help the depression and all over mindset, but I did not say the choice would be easy or likeable. I don't often times like these things, but I know they are best for me. We have to Choose to do what's right even when everyone else is doing wrong or telling us otherwise.
Emotions have no intellect. They connect themselves to whatever thought is taking place. Like a speck of dust floating in the air and then finally landing on something. One piece wont get to you, but you let it pile up and before long you have a mess. Deal with your emotions in a positive manner. Cry them out if you need too. It's ok to have a good old fashion coming to Jesus meeting in your prayer closet. That's what often happens is that we dont deal with the emotions as they come.
Choose to reject negativity. Dont let Satan steal your joy. I have before and may be there again some day but the other side is far better.
