emotions

Emotions are fickle.  we are happy one day and sad the next.  And why?  Sometimes we can point to circumstances, but sometimes we just don't know.

I was reading a man the other day who said that the soul/mind is at rest.  The soul/mind in it's natural state is at rest.  When emotions come along, they can pull the soul towards happiness or sadness, but it's natural state is peace and rest.

We can choose to bring the soul back to a place of rest by refusing to be blown by the wind of emotions.  Ecstatic? Depressed?  This too shall pass.  We don't have to ride every roller coaster of emotion up and down the hill.  It is all good.

I find help to do this by thinking of God when I face a struggle.  Since our soul is the part that connects with God, thinking of him is the best tool to bring my mind to peace when the emotional winds of life start to blow.

You are a soul.  You are at rest.  Make a conscious effort to resist the winds of emotion by resting in God.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
