Emotions

"Emotions: they just are. they are neither bad nor good; they just exist. paradigms power perception & perceptions power emotions. most emotions are responses to perception - what you think is true about a given situation. if your perception is false, then your emotional response will be false too. so check your perceptions, & beyond that check the truthfulness of your paradigms - what you believe. just because you believe something firmly doesn't make it true. be willing to reexamine what you believe. the more you live in the truth, the more your emotions will help you see clearly. but even then, you don't want to trust them more than Me."
-Papa aka God, from "The Shack"

love this and am trying to live by it more and more. and if you haven't read "The Shack" you definitely should! it has a slow start but after the first 2 chapters its amazing!
