Emotions

Emotions come in waves:

• Shock — “This can’t be happening.”
• Disorientation — “Who am I now? What matters now?”
• Despair — “There’s no way out.”
• Stillness — “Maybe I don’t need a way out.”
• Softening — “I can’t control this, but I can feel it.”
• Reverence — “Even now, life is sacred.”
• Devotion — “What can I tend, even in the dark?”

And there are many more……

What we do with those emotions is so important. Stuffing, hiding, ignoring, aren’t good options. We are emotional beings and those emotions can guide us along our life’s way.

Psalm 139:14 reads: “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well“.

Waves of mercy, waves of grace. We are called to ride the waves.
