Get Emotional   

We're soon going to blog you everything - we think - 

you need to know about this year's election. 

     Today, let's get emotional. This follows previous blogs on the human heart, soul and mind. 

     Did you know - your emotions will go with you into eternity?  

     There are emotions of gladness, love, courage, repentance, grief, humility, excitement, happiness, motivation, inspired, joy and passionate. 

     Emotions not so welcome include fearful, anxious, anger, anguish, troubled, sadness, depressed, frustrated, annoyed and irritated. We assume none of these will follow us into heavenly life. As for hell? 

     Some emotions can be positive one time and negative another, depending on the issue...such as anger over evil activity, or excitement that some danger passed us by. 

     While some facts about us cannot change, or shouldn't, we can change, control, or revise certain emotions. Our Bible speaks of joy in the Lord while experiencing trouble. And humility: if we don't have it, we had best reconsider. 

     As for both positive and negative emotions, some can be helpful, others harmful. Paul wrote to the Corinthians that we all (including himself) are "jars of clay."
