Well, the meeting I’ve written about in the past few days took place yesterday morning and it was a glorious meeting–just as I should have expected. The things which had caused me to be anxious were only about me. When I had expressed these concerns I was given a response which made me realize that if the table was turned and I was hearing this from someone else, I’d be telling them just what I had been told. I don’t often make decisions from an emotional level only. But, in this case, I was letting my emotions get the best of me. Emotions are always a part of any decision, but I never want them to rule the decision ahead of practical wisdom. Godly wisdom is what I was given yesterday morning and that is what Jesus was wanting me to hear.

I’ve always had a habit of suppressing emotions so that I would never look like my dad who seemed to be driven by emotional decisions. I’ve learned a lot in my recent years about respecting emotions instead of fearing and suppressing them. Emotions and Godly wisdom can respectfully work together–be a team. I want to learn more and more about surrendering emotions of “fear and anxiety” so I can better hear God’s Wisdom from His Holy Spirit and appreciate it emotionally and use it wisely.

What a privilege it is to walk with our Abba Father Who loves each of us dearly!
