God knows our emotions and He understands, but He also does a lot more, God helps us in our emotions. The Old Testament speaks of God, who is the lifter of our heads. When we are down, He can lift us up. When are in sorrow, He can give us joy. When we are confused, he can give us peace.
Main Points:
1. Regardless of how many emotions we actually have, we do know that God has created us with the ability to feel and express emotion. You might hear someone say, “Stop being so emotional,” when perhaps they are overreacting to something. But the truth is: that we are all emotional. We all feel.
2. I hope you’ll see this truth today. God cares about your emotional state. We’ve often been taught to hide our emotions. I know that I struggle to express my emotions in public. We’ve been taught to stifle them. Be strong. Don’t let anyone see what is going on inside. But God cares about our emotions. Did you know that God also feels emotion? We feel emotion because God feels emotion.
3. Not only can God bring healing to our physical bodies, He can also bring healing to our mental and emotional state. God cares about our whole being.
