Sound Emotion

Women, God loves you. You are very unique and special. You are fearfully wonderfully made, marvelous is God’s work. Women are tender in nature. You are sensitive to people and are understanding. On the contrary, men are more logical and analytic. Most importantly, men and women complement each other. Men need women’s tender side while women need to be balanced with men’s rational side.

According to I Tim2:13 Adam was formed first, then Eve. Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
Emotion is the good side of women. This emotion is created by God and it is supposed to be very constructive. When women are filled with godly emotion, see how the body of Christ will be touched. Sometimes when the presence of God is strong, Holy Spirit will touch us with holy weeping. Or when a woman sees a person in need, she may release tears of compassion. That is holy and godly. Because of that holy weeping, people will sense healing touch. This is very constructive and meaningful.

But there is another kind of crying. That is negative and destructive. This kind of sorrow will produce death. That is self-pity crying. Because of this emotional side of women, the serpent tends to attack them with lies of self-pity or unworthiness. This emotional side of women is very vulnerable area. It may not be weakness. But the devil takes advantage and attacks this area all the time. Once you give in to the first temptation of poor me mindset, other self-destructive emotions will all creep in. Feelings of self-hatred, depression, hopeless etc…..The list will go on and on….until you are saturated with unbelief. Once the stronghold of unbelief is built in you, you will wonder why your prayers are not answered!!

According to 2 Cor 7:10, godly sorrow leads to repentance while sorrow of the world produces death. Holy Spirit lives inside of us. If we will humble ourselves and allow the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from the filthiness of the flesh and spirit, we will perfect our emotion in holiness and the fear of God. (2 Cor 7:1) If we will focus our mind on the simplicity of Christ, our emotion will be chaste like virgin to Christ. (2 Cor 11:1-3) All our pessimism had been crucified with Christ, it’s no longer I who live, but Christ’ emotion dwells in me. (Gal 2:20) We are able to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit---self-control. We don’t need to be the victim of self-pity crying. God has given you a way of escape. He is faithful and you are able to walk in redeemed emotion, which is the godly emotion of faith, hope, love, peace and joy. (1 Cor 10:13)

Women, God is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. (2 Cor 4:17) God is turning our corrupt emotion into holy emotion of Himself. God wants our emotion to speak for Him. Christ wants our emotion to shine for the lost. If we are crying bitterly like everyone else in the world, who will have HOPE? He wants us to be lighthouse in the midst of storm and darkness. He wants us to move in holy laughter when everyone is sad and sorrowful. He wants us to flow in compassion and mercy when people in the world are mean and selfish. Women, by the blood of Jesus, we become redeemed Eve---a vessel of compassion and mercy. Even our countenance speaks for God. When they look at our face, they start to understand the feminine side of God, which is full of love, compassion and mercy. After all, women, you are made in the image and likeness of El Shaddai---the affectionate One who nourish us. Our mind, our face, our emotion, even our body gestures are reflecting the likeness of God. As we continue in faith, love, holiness with self-control, we will enjoy the holy emotions God deposited in us. We will enjoy the transformation of the Holy Spirit and all the fruits of the Holy Spirit!
