"Everyone in this world are my friends. Only the Lord thy God decides if things are meant to be." These are the wise words I have learned through these weeks of learning... from Jesus Christ himself!!!
I have a testimony to the world:
During these past 1 1/2 weeks, the Lord has taught me how to control my emotions to becoming a better person. Why do we let ourselves succumb to our emotions when our soul resides above the heart? To becoming one with the Lord, one must have the will to control one's emotions.
Why do we hate? Why do we Anger? Why do we weep? Why do we engulf in joy? Why do we love? There is a reason to everything that results in our emotional explosions.
For instance, we have a goal in mind... and begin to create a fantasy in our minds.. sometimes it cannot be made into reality. Therefore, once reality collides with fantasy, and it does not match, it triggers an emotional response! We explode with emotion once our fantasy does not meet reality.... or our expectations does not meet with our goals. How do we control these emotions? SIMPLE!
One must ACCEPT the fact that there is NOTHING we can do about it once something you either like or hate happens! That's it! Once you've accepted that you're done! You've found the source of your emotional issues! We as humans, must accept that things in the world whether you like it or not.. is under God's ultimate plan.
No matter how hard we try, we cannot change it! Accept that your life is on route with the Lord's plan and move on forward without regrets!!
If you are in love, don't fall for the early symptoms of "Infatuation"! Love is patient as said in the bible. You will not know what true love is if you don't even know who the person is and why you love them. So that's why FRIENDSHIP should be established! Even to your enemies! The lord said, "Love your enemies". DO IT! FRIENDSHIP to everyone!! It is what the Lord wants! What would Jesus do?
Someone smacks you in the face? Show them your other cheek and forgive them! Someone steals a loonie from you? Give them 10 bucks! Someone insults you? Give them praise! You will be rewarded in heaven when the time comes, for this is what the Lord wants in all of us! FORGIVENESS! Forgiveness is also a method of controlling the anger emotion. Once we destroy our grudges by forgiving one another, the anger emotion has no purpose of living and dissapates.
I have truly learned a lot from this past week. How to control emotions so you don't get hurt.. or hurt others. Shutting down fantasies, and replacing them with tough reality. Learning about love, forgiveness, friendship. It's really been a ROUGH ride, but it was worthwhile, for the lord disciplines us because he loves us.
Thanks for reading,
Josh
