Center Your Emotions

Emotions. Aren’t they great? Some of them are so positive & feel so good! Some are... not so much. Emotions tend to pull us into a whirlpool. When you focus on the situation, or crisis you get sucked into a vortex. But like in a hurricane the winds are strong on the outer bands creating all kinds of upheaval and destruction. But in the eye of the storm, the very center of it, the winds are calm. When emotions are pulling you in you can find yourself in the eye of the storm by intentionally focusing on who God is, that the victory is already won. Center yourself, your thoughts in who He is and the reality that you are in Him, and the Prince of Peace settles your heart and mind. Your circumstances may not be altered at all but you’re at peace.Peace actually has nothing to do with your circumstances. Just like the hurricane, it still swirls yet the eye is still.

Colossians 3:2 The Passion Translation “Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.”

Romans 12:2  The Passion Translation

“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you,[a] but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think”
