God has gifted us with emotions since the very
beginning—and he did so with very concrete purposes in mind—so that we can
enjoy life, so we can connect with others, and so we can reflect God's image in
us. But too often, instead of making the best of this gift, our emotions make
the worst of us. Though we cannot see, taste, or touch our
emotions, we are constantly affected by their forceful presence and the
incredible influence they have over us. They can alter how we view our day,
other people, and even the major events in our lives. Through our feelings, we
have the capacity to enjoy amazing triumphs and deep fulfillment or experience
crushing defeat and ruined relationships.
